International Collaboration Expands Cancer Biochemistry Research

The Alder Molecular Biochemistry Laboratory has joined an international consortium studying metabolic adaptations in aggressive tumor environments. Researchers aim to better understand how cancer cells alter biochemical pathways to survive under nutrient-limited conditions. The collaboration will support shared datasets, joint publications, and translational therapeutic development initiatives.

Researchers Identify Novel Enzyme Linked to Cellular Stress Regulation

Scientists at the Alder Molecular Biochemistry Laboratory have identified a previously uncharacterized enzyme involved in regulating oxidative stress responses within human cells. The discovery may improve understanding of how cells adapt to environmental and metabolic stress conditions associated with chronic disease progression. The research team is now investigating how modulation of the enzyme’s activity could […]
