The Center for Cancer and Metabolism

The Center for Cancer and Metabolism (CCM) was founded with the mission to advance understanding of metabolic dysregulation in cancer, a critical factor in tumor development, drug resistance, and metastasis. Located at the University of Kentucky, CCM focuses on cutting-edge research that intersects cancer biology and metabolism. The center leverages specialized expertise in redox biology, cancer cell signaling, systems biochemistry, and data sciences to develop innovative cancer treatments and diagnostic tools.

Notable affiliates include leading researchers and scientists from various disciplines within the University of Kentucky. The center has established two core research facilities dedicated to metabolism, enhancing its research capabilities. Key achievements include significant contributions to the understanding of metabolic pathways in cancer and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. CCM's impact is reflected in its role in pioneering research that could lead to more effective cancer treatments and improved patient outcomes.
