Please join us for the Webinar “A Metabolic Approach to Cancer”
with Dr. Hailey Brownstein & Dr. Braswell Deen
Hosted by IPAK EDU Weekly Science Webinar
The metabolic approach to cancer, originally advanced by Otto Warburg and later expanded by Thomas Seyfried, views cancer primarily as a disorder of cellular energy metabolism rather than solely a genetic disease. Warburg observed that many cancer cells rely heavily on aerobic glycolysis (the "Warburg effect") even in the presence of oxygen, suggesting altered mitochondrial function and metabolic reprogramming. Seyfried builds on this framework by proposing that mitochondrial dysfunction is central to tumorigenesis and that targeting glucose and glutamine metabolism can selectively stress cancer cells while sparing normal, metabolically flexible tissues. This perspective supports therapeutic strategies that exploit metabolic vulnerabilities — including dietary, fasting, and redox-based interventions — alongside conventional treatments.
