Registration for the CNIO CaixaResearch Frontiers Meeting Metabolism and Cancer: Insights from Obesity and Beyond is open until 5 May 2026.
Held at CNIO Auditoriom from 20 to 22 may 2026, the meeting will highlight key drivers stemming from unhealthy metabolism that impact cancer development. It will delve into cutting-edge topics such as advancements in adipocyte biology, uncovering the diverse roles of adipose tissue beyond fat storage and its influence on tumor metabolism. Additionally, groundbreaking research on exercise and its potential impact on cancer will be presented. The role of mitochondrial bioenergetics in metabolic regulation will be rigorously examined, offering promising avenues for cancer therapy.
Moreover, the conference will scrutinize the tumor microenvironment and metabolic changes in surrounding tissues, alongside immune modulation,
particularly in the context of obesity. Cachexia, a complex syndrome involving muscle wasting and its relationship with cancer, will also be a focal point.
