Biografi
Sarah Cherkaoui is a researcher working in cancer metabolism, affiliated with Princeton University and the Morscher laboratory. Her research focuses on how metabolic pathways are rewired in cancer cells and how these dependencies can be exploited for therapeutic intervention.
Cherkaoui’s work combines metabolic profiling, genetic approaches and in vivo models to identify vulnerabilities in tumour metabolism. She is particularly interested in how specific nutrient pathways and biosynthetic processes support tumour growth and survival, and how restricting key metabolic inputs can enhance the effect of existing treatments. Her research contributes to a growing understanding of cancer as a metabolic disease and supports the development of mechanism-based therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting tumour-specific metabolic dependencies.
