- This $238,722 federal Project Grant awarded on August 18, 2025 by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 - Cancer Research Manpower) to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research supports research to investigate the role of mutagenic DNA repair during the persistence of cancer cells. The research aims to define the specific mechanisms that promote mutagenic DNA repair and drive acquired drug resistance in persister cancer cells, focusing on the role of the microhomology-mediated end...
- The Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research was awarded a $581,381 Project Grant by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) to investigate the role of microhomology-mediated end-joining (MMEJ) in mitosis and its impact on drug resistance. The project aims to gain a better understanding of DNA damage repair pathways and how they go awry in cancer, with the goal of informing more effective therapeutic approaches. Specifically, the research will...
- The National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) awarded a $3,201,530 Project Grant to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research to investigate the mechanisms underlying extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) segregation and repair in cancer. The key focus areas include: Exploring how the circular topology of ecDNA affects its function and maintenance, specifically examining the RNA-dependent physical tethering of ecDNA to mitotic chromosomes that facilitates...
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $1,034,176 Project Grant to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research under the Cancer Biology Research program (CFDA 93.396) with an award date of August 18, 2025. The grant aims to understand the mechanisms of aberrant RNA splicing and how it drives the development of various hematological malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and acute myeloid leukemia. The research builds on the institution's past...
- This $150,104 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) supports research to understand the evolutionary trajectories of complex genomic rearrangements in cancer. The project aims to develop novel computational approaches, "AGAVE" and "ROSE", to characterize the timing and dynamics of focal amplifications and structural variants during tumor evolution. The research will map these evolutionary patterns across...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under CFDA 93.396 (Cancer Biology Research) provides $182,755 to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) to conduct research on genetic technology development for understanding lineage plasticity mechanisms in cancer. The award began on August 21, 2025 and is scheduled for completion on July 31, 2030. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant include: 1) developing a CRISPR screening methodology for...
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $455,111 Project Grant under CFDA 93.393 "Cancer Cause and Prevention Research" to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York. The 2-year grant, awarded on September 5, 2023, will support research to "Leverage the Hidden Genome to Recover the Missing Heritability of Cancer." The project aims to 1) estimate additional heritability that can be explained by the "hidden genome" (regions of unknown...
- This federal Project Grant award of $418,176 from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) supports the development and validation of a novel approach called "Programmable Nucleic Acid Cytometry" at the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research. The project aims to advance this innovative method for profiling rare cell populations from tumors and tissues, which offers advantages over traditional antibody-based cell isolation techniques. The work will...
- The National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) awarded a $1,625,853 Project Grant to New York University (NYU) on December 13, 2024. The grant will support NYU's research to map and characterize the role of 3D "hubs" - regulatory DNA elements that interact with multiple loci - in the context of T-cell leukemia (T-ALL), early T-cell progenitor leukemia (ETP-ALL), and T-cell lymphoma. The project aims to better define how these 3D chromatin structures are rewired...
This $292,028 Project Grant awarded by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 - Cancer Research Manpower) supports research to investigate the mechanisms by which oncogene amplification leads to genome instability and the development of therapy-resistant cancer clones. The research will be conducted by the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York and is scheduled to run from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030. Using single-cell genomic sequencing techniques, the project aims to: 1) differentiate the structural and phenotypic mechanisms by which oncogene amplification induces genome instability, 2) identify DNA repair pathways that enable oncogene-driven clonal evolution, and 3) explore the role of oncogene-associated genome instability in the emergence of treatment-resistant cancer clones. The findings from this comprehensive, multi-year research initiative are expected to provide critical insights into the molecular drivers of aggressive, relapse-prone cancers and inform the development of more effective targeted therapies.
