The U.S. Department of the Army Medical Command awarded a $768,420 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (doing business as the Cancer Institute of New Jersey) to support a research project titled "Rewiring Very Long Chain Fatty Acid Metabolism in Pancreatic Tumor-Associated Macrophages to Overcome KRAS-Targeted Therapy Resistance."

The objective of this 3-year research project, funded through the Military Medical Research and Development (CFDA 12.420) program, is to investigate innovative approaches to overcome resistance to KRAS-targeted therapies in pancreatic cancer. The research will focus on understanding and manipulating the role of tumor-associated macrophages and their fatty acid metabolism in driving therapy resistance. Successful outcomes from this research could lead to new treatment strategies to improve outcomes for military personnel and the general public affected by this deadly disease.
