Integrated Cancer Research in Five Thematic Areas of Interest
Abstract
The Cancer Institute of Long Island offers specialized and unique cancer research in the integrated areas of signal transduction, growth control & differentiation, molecular carcinogenesis & DNA repair, cancer genetics & gene therapy, and cancer invasion & angiogenesis. The five areas of specialization provide a platform to address fundamental questions in the prevention, early detection, molecular understanding, and therapeutic intervention of cancers, such as breast, prostate, and others that are of central importance to the Department of Defense. The proposal requests funds to (1) recruit medically and scientifically-trained, clinician-scientists; (2) to provide support for establishing a laboratory and support for technicians and/or postdoctoral researchers to assist in establishing a new laboratory; and (3) to acquire several powerful, state-of-the-art instruments essential to the conduct of forefront cancer research. These instruments include a MALDI Time-of-Flight mass spectrometer, 2-photon laser-scanning confocal microscope, quantitative polymerase chain reaction light-cyclers, an advanced Affymetrix DNA microarray system and Laboratory Informatics Management system for computational needs. These funds will be used to develop the integration of the five thematic programs that address questions in breast, prostate, and other specific cancers. The Cancer Institute is an active-matrix cancer center providing a platform for cancer research and therapy for the Long Island region that has some of the highest rates of breast cancer. Integrated Cancer Research in Five Thematic Areas of Interest Signal Transduction, Cancer Genetics, Angiogenesis, Carcinogenesis, DNA repair, Growth Control, Cancer Invasion.
