Scientific Seminars and Publications

Renowned cancer researcher, Dr Robert Weinberg, Daniel K. Ludwig Professor for Cancer Research and Core Member, Whitehead Institute, presents at CST.

CST is a company of scientists working for scientists. We understand how frustrating it is to use tools that don’t work. Each experiment ought to be a success, even if the resulting data aren’t what you predicted. Validation data and knowledge sharing help deliver discoveries and promote advancements that benefit all. Delivering expert scientific collaboration is a foundational part of who we are and what we do.

Scientific Seminars

Expertise fades if it isn’t nurtured. It’s important to keep our development goals aligned with all of the latest advancements and discoveries in the field. Our mission is to develop the tools researchers need, and this is one of the ways we calibrate our efforts with theirs.

Much like in an academic environment, our corporate culture recognizes the importance of maintaining a creative edge for innovation. We encourage our scientists to attend weekly seminars where visiting scientists and specialists from around the globe present their research.

Between 2018 and 2021, CST hosted over 60 invited scientific speakers from all over the world.

Here are some of the speaker highlights over the last few years:

• Dr Robert A. Weinberg: How Non-Genetic Mechanisms Govern Cancer Cell Biology Including Malignancy (2019)
• Dr Lisa Coussens: Evaluating Myeloid Targets to Enhance Anti-Tumor Immune Responses in Solid Tumors (2019)
• Dr Cigall Kadoch: Structure and Function of Mammalian SWI/SNF Chromatin Remodeling Complexes in Human Disease (2018)
• Dr Reuben Shaw:
  • AMPK and ULK1: Guardians of Metabolism and Mitochondria (2018)
  • The LBK1-AMPK Pathway: from Lung Cancer Immunotherapy to Parkinson’s Disease (2019)
  • New Unexpected Targets: AMPK Family Kinases that Suppress Lung Cancer and Restore Metabolic Balance (2021)
• Dr. Li-Huei Tsai: Non-Invasive Sensory Stimulation to Induce Gamma Entrainment and Neuro protection (2021)

Dr. Lisa Coussens, Dr. Cigall Kadoch, Dr. Reuben Shaw, and Dr. Li-Huei Tsai.
