The Emory University Prostate Cancer Center Initiation Program

Abstract

The project supports 3 separate research projects and one core facility designed to investigate basic science aspects of prostate cancer including mitogenic oxidase expression (Project 1), mitochondrial DNA mutations (Project 2), and the cell adhesion molecule MUC-1 8 (Project 3). In addition, the project is designed to aid in initiating a multi-disciplinary prostate cancer research center and to assist investigators in obtaining other extra-mural finding for these projects. This has largely been accomplished with peer-reviewed publication and presentations at national scientific meetings resulting from each of the three projects. In addition, 2 ROl applications and one POl application are the direct result of work accomplished by this award. A highly collaborative group has been established at Emory and critical resources have been obtained such as laser-capture dissected clinical specimens and novel cell lines.
