Metabolic Dysregulation and Cancer Risk Program: A Transdisciplinary Approach to Obesity-Associated Cancer Research

[MeDOC Program @MeDOCResearch]

We are the MeDOC Consortium! A collective of scientists collaborating to further our knowledge of mechanisms that link obesity, metabolic dysregulation, and cancer. @theNCI

[MeDOC Program @MeDOCResearch]

Today's NCI-sponsored session featuring MeDOC, sparked incredible conversations around metabolic health and cancer — and connected us with some amazing content experts along the way. This is what community in medicine looks like. #MeDOC #AACR

[MeDOC Program @MeDOCResearch]

Did you know metabolic issues linked to obesity can raise cancer risk? 🎗️The NCI/NIH Consortia Initiative MeDOC, is bringing together experts across disciplines to tackle this head-on. Learn more at today's NCI-Sponsored session from 10:15-11:15 PST at #AACR26.
