Ludwig Cancer Research announced the launch Tuesday of the newest branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, which will be based at Princeton University. The Ludwig Princeton branch will be dedicated to the study of cancer metabolism.
Ludwig Princeton will be directed by chemical biologist and cancer researcher Joshua Rabinowitz, a professor in the chemistry department and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at the university. Rabinowitz has made foundational contributions to the field of metabolomics, which is the large-scale, quantitative analysis of metabolite. He is a leader in the development and application of new technologies for the dynamic analysis of metabolic processes. His laboratory has applied this expertise to the dissection of cancer metabolism and is devising candidate cancer therapies based on the lab’s discoveries.

Beata Mierzwa is integrating her passion for science with her penchant for creativity and sharing that passion with younger females to encourage them to pursue their own interests. That earned her a feature on “Mission Unstoppable,” a CBS TV show aimed at highlighting work like hers.
Mierzwa is a postdoctoral researcher in molecular biology at UC San Diego and Ludwig Cancer Research, which is on the UCSD campus and is affiliated with its medical school and the UCSD Moores Cancer Center.
She said her work entails “trying to understand how the tiny processes work inside the cell and to be able to understand it and give us the ability to cure diseases and have a positive impact in the world.”

Ludwig Cancer Research scientists to present advances in immunotherapy, cancer metabolism
APRIL 10, 2021, NEW YORK – Ludwig Cancer Research released today the full scope of research to be presented by Ludwig-affiliated scientists at the April 9-14 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, the first of two meetings which will be held online this year.
“The AACR Annual Meeting has long served as major opportunity for cancer researchers at all stages of their careers and from all over the world to meet, exchange ideas and forge collaborations to advance the study and treatment of cancer,” said Chi Van Dang, scientific director of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and Editor-in-Chief of AACR’s Cancer Research journal. “The COVID-19 pandemic may have disrupted the physical gathering, but the intellectual exchange it enables will continue unimpeded. Ludwig and its scientists are excited about participating in that exchange.”
