Overview
The broad interest of our lab is to define the role of systemic metabolism in cancer initiation and progression using a combination of cell biology, in vivo models, genetics and metabolic approaches. Our studies are focused on identifying metabolic vulnerabilities in cancers growing under distinct systemic metabolic states, and investigate the metabolic cross-talk between tumors and their hosts.

  3. R01CA211944 (KALAANY, NADA Y.) Jun 1, 2017 - May 31, 2022
    NIH
    Role of Insulin Receptor Substrates in Kras-driven lung cancer
    Role Description: The major goals of this project are to identify novel metabolic dependencies that pancreatic tumors but not normal tissues rely on, including the unconventional path for synthesis of the nitrogen-enriched metabolites -polyamines- that are essential for cellular growth.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
