Linking Cancer Metabolism to Neurodegeneration



Presented By: Navdeep S. Chandel PhD

Speaker Biography: I received a BA in mathematics (1991) followed by a Ph.D. in Cell Physiology (1996) at the University of Chicago with Dr. Paul Schumacker, Then did my post-doctoral fellowship jointly with Dr. Paul Schumacker and Dr. Craig Thompson (1999). I started my lab in 2000 at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

Webinar: Linking Cancer Metabolism to Neurodegeneration

Webinar Abstract: The major function of mitochondria in cellular homeostasis has been the generation of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. However, we have previously demonstrated that mitochondria can serve as signaling organelles by releasing low levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are essential for hypoxic activation of HIF, antigen activation of T cells, cellular differentiation and proliferation of cancer cells.
