Precision oncology targeting cancer metabolism

The University Children’s Hospital Zurich is the largest center for pediatrics and pediatric surgery in Switzerland, and one of the leading children’s hospitals worldwide. The hospital’s oncology research group is headed up by Dr. Raphael J. Morscher and studies pediatric cancer metabolism at a cellular and whole organism level, focusing on identifying mutation-induced metabolic vulnerabilities to target with novel treatment strategies.

In this webinar, Dr. Morscher and Fiona Farnhammer, Doctoral student, will describe the current challenges involved in the treatment of childhood cancers and understanding cancer metabolism. They will also present the Morscher lab’s translational research into improving the efficacy of existing chemotherapies in routine clinical use, with the aim of enhancing patient outcomes and reducing negative adverse effects.
