This $509,448 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 - Cancer Research Manpower program) supports research by The Leland Stanford Junior University to investigate antigen-presenting cells in lymph nodes and their role in modulating metastatic tumor progression. The key objectives are to: 1) identify the specific antigen-presenting cell populations responsible for promoting tumor-specific regulatory T cell development, and 2) assess therapeutic strategies to reprogram...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 Cancer Research Manpower) provides $226,608 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to integrate highly multiplexed immunofluorescence with label-free 2D hyperspectral chemical imaging to investigate the colorectal cancer tumor-invasive front. The primary goals are to: 1) Perform preliminary non-destructive, label-free spatiochemical imaging on normal and colorectal cancer patient biopsies to identify differences in...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $512,974 Project Grant under the Cancer Research Manpower (CFDA 93.398) federal grant program to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, a non-profit cancer research institution located in New York City. The grant, effective August 13, 2024 through July 31, 2029, will fund research to develop advanced predictive models for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) outcomes using a combination of real-world data sources, including tumor genomic...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 Cancer Research Manpower) will provide $135,774 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to conduct research on "Reinvigorating the Overdominant Model of Tumor Suppression." The research aims to systematically measure the overdominant effect of tumor suppressor genes in vivo, investigate the molecular mechanisms of overdominant tumor suppression, and quantify the prevalence of overdominance in lung...
This $627,833 federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Biology Research program (CFDA 93.396) aims to develop an informatics platform that integrates molecular and pathological data from various lung cancer preclinical models and patient tumors. The goal is to assess the fidelity of these preclinical models through comparative analyses. The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, the prime awardee, will work with Duke University as a sub-awardee to...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394), provides $1,625,000.00 to Onc.ai, Inc. to develop and validate a radiomics-based multi-modal predictive model for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with PD-1 immunotherapy. The key objectives are to: 1) Validate the predictive models in a multi-institutional prospective clinical study, 2) Evaluate the performance characteristics and...
This National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) Project Grant award of $683,089 to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research supports the development of an improved, interpretable deep learning algorithm called DeepLIIF for more reproducible and accurate PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) biomarker quantification. The goal is to leverage virtual multiplex immunofluorescence (MPIF) restaining and large, diverse datasets across lung and bladder cancers to...
This $113,147 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 Cancer Research Manpower program) to The Leland Stanford Junior University. The grant will fund a 5-year career development program for Dr. Chris McGinnis to prepare him for an independent research career in cancer immunology, focusing on studying tumor-immune interactions during metastasis. The key objectives are to: 1) Use longitudinal single-cell RNA sequencing to uncover novel mechanisms of...
This $306,999 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) is focused on developing an integrated machine learning framework to accurately identify lung cancer subtypes. The key products and services to be delivered include: Establishing a gene signature-transfer machine learning model that leverages large-scale bulk and single-cell transcriptomics data, both within and beyond NIH Common Fund...
This Project Grant award of $1,102,957 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to The Leland Stanford Junior University will fund research to investigate the relationship between cancer and cardiovascular disease. The project aims to: 1) use epidemiological and genetic approaches to map causal links and shared genetic factors between the two disease states; 2) leverage advanced mouse models to prove that cancer can directly promote...

This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 Cancer Research Manpower) provides $119,172 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to conduct research aimed at "Harnessing Multi-Modal and Multi-Omics Data Integration to Decipher Therapeutic Response in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer." The key objectives are to: (1) Identify clinically relevant spatial cellular architectures contributing to therapeutic response; (2) Develop an image-based digital cytometer to reconstruct the spatial cellular landscape from histology images; and (3) Create a unified machine learning framework for integrating tumor microenvironmental information from multi-modal data to improve prognostic predictions and treatment allocation. This 2-year award, effective August 1, 2025, seeks to advance understanding of how the diversity and spatial organization of cells in the tumor microenvironment impact clinical outcomes for non-small cell lung cancer patients.
