Nathan Berger

Nathan Berger is a pioneering researcher in energy balance and cancer, demonstrating how obesity-induced hyperinsulinemia, altered adipokine profiles, and chronic inflammation create a tumor-promoting microenvironment. His mechanistic studies linking NAD metabolism, PARP activity, and metabolic reprogramming in obese tissues have opened novel chemoprevention avenues. He has mentored generations of researchers at the interface of metabolism and oncology.
