Metabolism, Diet and Disease 2014: Cancer and metabolism
Conference - Washington, DC, United States
BioMed Central will host the second biennial Metabolism, Diet and Disease: Cancer and metabolism conference on 28th to 30th May 2014 in Washington DC, USA. Please note that there has been a recent change of venue and we are delighted to be returning to the Georgetown University Hotel & Conference Center. The conference is supported by the journals BMC Biology and BMC Medicine, which celebrate their 10th Anniversary in 2013, and Cancer & Metabolism. Following the success of the first Metabolism, Diet and Disease conference in 2012, this second conference will bring together leading researchers in cancer and metabolism with experts in whole-body metabolism.
Internationally recognized speakers will talk on topics which will include metabolic links to cancer, obesity and diabetes, oncogenic drivers and vulnerabilities in altered cancer cell metabolism, the metformin paradox – biguanides and energy metabolism, and metabolism-based cancer therapies. Following the lively panel discussion in 2012, the 2014 panel topic will be ‘Is cancer preventable? The influence of diet on cancer’ chaired by Gregory Petsko.
All participants are invited to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations. Submitted abstracts will be published as a supplement in Cancer & Metabolism and indexed in PubMed and by ISI Web of Science.
Registrants for the ‘Metabolism, Diet and Disease’ conference are entitled to a 15% discount on article processing charges for publications in the BMC Biology, BMC Medicine, Cancer & Metabolism journals and all other BioMed Central journals. The offer will apply until 31 August 2014.
