Integrated Cancer Research in Five Thematic Areas of Interest

摘要

During the lifespan of this award, the Cancer Institute of Long Island benefited from CPMRP funding in a manner consistent with the proposed activities of the award In the area of core instrumentation acquisition, many new imaging modalities were acquired, installed, commissioned and made available to cancer researchers as described within this report. Such technology is vital to imagine both in vitro and in vivo models of cancer State-of-the-art systems in proteomics were brought on-line and rendered operational in support of cancer research. These included, but were not limited to multiple TOF platforms. There was a profound restructuring of Cancer Genomic Core services that has very neatly organized the portfolio of an otherwise complex, yet vital set of analysis tools to better understand cancer genetics. CDMRP funding also enabled many young investigators to initiate new research projects to better advance the body of understanding of how cancer invades, establishes and attacks a host CDMRP support for these projects came in the form of specially described support units over multiple years. These research support units (RSU's) were a mechanism to ensure necessary support for junior faculty and work as enhancements to enable the successful establishment of their laboratories. RSU support provided funds for laboratory technical personnel, small and/or specialized research equipment, and supplies. Over the lifespan of this award three individuals were recruited and benefited via this initiative The faculty designees for this activity are Howard Adler, MD, Assistant Professor of Urology, Howard Crawford, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacological Sciences, and Marjana Maletic-Savatic, MD-PhD, Assistant Professor of Neurology Descriptions of their projects are included within this report.
