Stephen D. Hursting studies how body weight, diet, physical activity, and metabolism influence cancer development and progression, using mouse models and human patient cohorts. Much of the work focuses on obesity- and calorie-restriction-related changes in tumor biology, including effects on breast and colon cancer, immune responses, and lipid/fatty acid metabolism.
