This $674,440 Project Grant was awarded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Biology Research (CFDA 93.396) federal grant program. The grant supports research at the University of Miami to comprehensively define the clinical impact of myeloma-defining genomic and immune events among myeloma precursor conditions (MPCs), in order to differentiate benign from malignant MPCs. The study will utilize novel single-cell whole genome sequencing (scWGS) to characterize the subclonal...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 Cancer Treatment Research) provides $499,902 to Rowan University to develop a novel MCL-1 inhibitor, KS18, and investigate its potential to reverse chemotherapeutic resistance in multiple myeloma (MM). The key objectives are to: 1) determine if MCL-1 inhibition via KS18 can reverse acquired resistance to standard MM treatments like bortezomib in vitro, 2) evaluate if KS18 can overcome bortezomib resistance in MM...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai aims to develop a novel single-cell multi-omic profiling method called SHARE-ME-SEQ. This method will jointly capture gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and DNA methylation at the single-cell level to provide unprecedented insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying cancer cell plasticity and metastasis, with a focus on acute myeloid...

The National Cancer Institute awarded a $701,330 Project Grant under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The grant supports research to develop selective inhibitors targeting the lysine methyltransferase SETD8 for the treatment of multiple myeloma, an incurable plasma cell malignancy. Key objectives include optimizing SETD8 inhibitor compounds into in vivo chemical probes, evaluating their efficacy in multiple myeloma cellular and mouse models, and validating the therapeutic potential of SETD8 inhibition. The research builds on promising preliminary results showing that SETD8 inhibition can selectively suppress the proliferation of SETD8-high multiple myeloma cells without significant toxicity to normal cells. The award has a performance period from June 11, 2025 to May 31, 2030, and the optimized SETD8 inhibitors generated will serve as valuable tools for assessing the therapeutic potential of SETD8 inhibition in other SETD8-overexpressing cancers.
