About the symposium
The Usha Mahajani Symposium on Molecular Medicine is held each September annually and attracts approximately 150–200 scientists from academia and industry across Southern California and beyond. The symposium provides a premier forum for discussing emerging advances in biomedical research while also creating valuable opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to interact with leading national and international experts in cancer biology and translational medicine. This year’s symposium, “Targeting Metabolic Vulnerabilities in Cancer: From Mitochondria to Immunity”, will highlight cutting-edge discoveries at the intersection of cancer metabolism, immunology, and therapeutic development. The program features internationally recognized leaders in the field and is organized into three scientific sessions.
