The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, a component of the University of Texas System, was awarded a $1,437,358 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310) program. The grant, awarded on September 22, 2023, aims to develop novel optogenetic technologies to enable precise spatial and temporal control of tumor formation in genetically engineered murine models. This capability will allow researchers to investigate how anatomic position within an organ influences tumor phenotypes and biology, which is a significant gap in current cancer research models. The project will involve engineering a photoactivable cre-recombinase system, integrating it into oncogene-driven tumor models, and using single-cell sequencing to characterize the molecular features of regionally-targeted tumors. If successful, this work could transform the ability to study spatial patterns of human cancers and the impact of anatomic location on tumor development and progression.
