This one-day event will feature presentations in the areas of innovative advancement of metabolic imaging and applications, new discoveries in metabolic dysregulations that drive tumor progression and immune evasion, and developmental model system to study cancer metabolism. Please don’t miss this exciting symposium. Registration is free, and lunch and coffee/snacks will be provided.
Date/Time: Nov. 20, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
