Targeting Cancer's Metabolic Achilles Heel | Seyfried & Chinopoulos
Episode 1
Monday, 16 March, 2026
Hello healers, In this episode of The Moss Report, I travel to Budapest, Hungary, to visit Semmelweis University and sit down with research scientist Dr. Christos Chinopoulos, a leading biochemist whose work has helped advance the mitochondrial and metabolic theory of cancer. Previously on The Moss Report, my father and I spoke with Professor Thomas N. Seyfried of Boston College, who repeatedly pointed to Dr. Chinopoulos as an important scientific collaborator in clarifying key aspects of this theory. In particular, their work has focused on how cancer cells generate energy, the role of mitochondria, the importance of glucose and glutamine, and the idea that a specific metabolic vulnerability may represent an "Achilles heel" of cancer. In this conversation, Dr. Chinopoulos discusses: • his work with Professor Seyfried • how metabolic theory builds on and corrects aspects of Otto Warburg's original framework • why ketogenic therapy may help cancer patients • the limits of targeting glucose alone • glutamine, substrate-level phosphorylation, and cancer cell survival • his laboratory's work on drug development aimed at exploiting metabolic differences between healthy cells and cancer cells • how this research may eventually contribute to more effective and less toxic cancer treatment The episode also includes a brief tour of Dr. Chinopoulos' lab at Semmelweis University, where his team studies tumor metabolism, drug response, and precision approaches to cancer biology.
