Why Nagourney exists

Nagourney Cancer Institute and Metabolomycs study cancer through cell metabolism, which provides the energy and materials for growth and reproduction. Metabolomics examines the small molecules made or used as the body processes food, drugs, chemicals, or its own tissue. The aim is to identify metabolic pathways a cancer relies on for growth and survival that could be targeted with potentially effective therapies.
