Events

Join us for the inaugural Intercampus Cancer Metabolism Symposium, bringing together researchers from Cornell’s Ithaca and Weill Cornell Medicine campuses. The event will take place October 21–22, 2025, at Cornell Ithaca.  
For more details, visit the 2025 Intercampus Cancer Metabolism Symposium page!

 

CMFG members meet on the first Thursday every month to share cutting-edge research at the interface of cancer, metabolism, and immunometabolism. We encourage talks from trainees and have created this seminar series to provide them with a platform to showcase their on-going, unpublished, or published work. A list of current and past seminar speakers can be found on this page.
