Overview
Reveals the molecular mechanism of metabolic regulation in cancer cells
Provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on different types of metabolic alteration in cancer cells with comparison to normal cells
Offers an authoritative account of the latest findings on all clinically approved and prospective anti-cancer drugs targeting the metabolic process and associated signalling pathways in the cancer cells

About the editor
He received his Ph.D. in Cellular, Molecular and Industrial Biology from the University of Bologna (UNIBO), Italy under an Indo-Italian Government fellowship in 2012. After completing his Ph.D., he pursued postdoctoral training at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, USA. During this training, he worked towards understanding the molecular mechanism(s) of the regulation of autophagy and apoptosis in cancer stem cells (prostate, pancreatic and breast), as well as understanding metabolic crosstalk between the tumour microenvironment (Cancer Associated Fibroblast (CAF)) and Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) via HGF/c-MET and bFGF/FGFR signalling pathways.
He has published several research articles in peer-reviewed international journals including Cancer Research, Scientific Reports, Genes, Radiation Research, Oncogenesis, Oncotarget, Cancer Letters, PlosOne, Pharmacology & Therapeutics, Biochemical Pharmacology etc., and has authored or co-authored numerous books and book chapters. He is a member of many international and national scientific societies and organizations and received several prestigious national and international awards including the Early Career Research Award, SERB, DST-India, K-INBRE Postdoctoral Award, National Institute of General Medical Sciences, National Institute of Health (P20 GM103418), USA, Young Scientist Award, International Academy of Physical Science, Allahabad, India, Brains in Competition Award, Institute of Advance Studies, University of Bologna, Italy, and the Indo-Italian Government Scholarship Award (Ministry of Human Resource and Development), India.
