Keep up the good work!
ISCAM stands for International Society for Cancer Metabolism, a society for scientists engaged in acidity, proton dynamics, metabolism and microenvironment in cancer research.

The mission of ISCaM (ex ISPDC, International Society for Proton Dynamics in Cancer) is to improve communication and to foster collaborative activities and research programs between European and non European scientists engaged in acidity, proton dynamics, metabolism and microenvironment in cancer research.
What we do
Networks, collaborations and meetings
Our goal is to Improve communication and collaborative activities between European and non European scientists engaged in acidity, proton dynamics, metabolism and microenvironment in cancer research.
Promoting our approach to cancer therapy in the scientific community, social community, Funding Agencies, Governments, and stimulate translation into clinical applications.

Associate professor, Center for Molecular Medicine, UMC Utrecht, Netherlands
The Rodriguez Colman Lab investigates the "Metabolism of Stem Cells and Cancer" at the subcellular, cellular and tissue scale. To that end, they use organoids models, a multicellular and hetero-cellular system able to recapitulate the complexity of stem cell and differentiation dynamics. Organoids are derived from healthy adult, embryonic or cancer tissue. Next to research analysis of bioenergetics, metabolomics and other omics, they perform cutting-edge 4-D live imaging to gain insights of metabolic changes at different scales with temporal resolution. They introduce fluorescent based genetic reporters to monitor metabolism in different cellular compartments and cell type specification changes, and analyze these complex long-term live imaging data with machine learning based single cell tracking coupled to in-house analytical pipelines. Her lab investigates the molecular mechanisms by which metabolic changes drive cell fate decisions in health, development and disease.
