The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $506,309 Project Grant under the Cancer Biology Research (CFDA 93.396) program to the Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University Indianapolis (IU Indianapolis). The grant, awarded on May 7, 2025, will fund a research project to investigate the mechanism by which ovarian cancer cells interact with their microenvironment to promote metastasis. Specifically, the research aims to determine how microenvironmental signals activate...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) supports the development of an engineered prodrug therapy that leverages tumor-associated proteases to selectively deliver potent cytotoxins to cancer cells. The proposed research aims to define the mechanisms of action of this novel anti-cancer strategy, and determine the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of combining this prodrug therapy with standard-of-care chemotherapy for...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) provides $1,373,308.00 to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the role of acetylcarnitine metabolism in chemoresistance of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). The project aims to: 1) map the acetylcarnitine-dependent histone acetylation axis and its contribution to homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair, and 2) investigate whether interventions that...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Biology Research (CFDA 93.396) program will support research to investigate how changes in the pre-metastatic niche (PMN) facilitate breast cancer metastasis. The total award amount is $521,240 over the project period from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2029. The research aims to identify critical events within the PMN that enable metastatic tumor cell colonization, promote phenotypic heterogeneity, and contribute to drug resistance....
