Dr. Zeribe Nwosu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Cornell University. He obtained his PhD in Molecular Cellular Biology from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, focusing on liver cancer metabolism under Prof. Steven Dooley. He further developed his expertise during his postdoctoral research at the University of Michigan, where he explored pancreatic cancer metabolism in the labs of Dr. Costas Lyssiotis and Prof. Marina Pasca di Magliano. His research primarily addresses cancer metabolism therapy, including the identification of novel mechanisms by which cancer cells acquire and utilize nutrients. He is especially interested in the tumor microenvironment and the role of various cellular components in cancer cell proliferation. Dr. Nwosu employs a variety of modern methods including metabolomics, gene interference techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, and phenotypic assays to study these mechanisms, with a particular focus on pancreatic cancer.
