Travis Chistofferson ~ Molecular Biologist and Author of the book Tripping Over the Truth: The Return of the Metabolic Theory of Cancer Illuminates a New and Hopeful Path to a Cure
Travis Christofferson is a graduate of the Montana State Honors Program in molecular biology. He received the Nelson Fellowship for "outstanding undergraduate research", and continued graduate research in bioremediation and cancer theory culminating in an M.S. in Material Engineering and Science from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.
He is a science writer and the author of the recently released book Tripping Over the Truth: The Metabolic Theory of Cancer. The book offers a historical perspective on the reemerging metabolic theory of cancer -- a theory that contends cancer is precipitated and driven by damage to mitochondria.
