This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) provides $415,259 to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia to conduct research on the role of long noncoding RNAs in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The project aims to 1) determine the role of a specific regulatory RNA in primary and relapsed AML, and 2) define the mechanism underlying its deregulation in AML. This research will provide insights into how noncoding RNAs...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) provides $542,663 to The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center to conduct preclinical research on novel therapies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The research aims to evaluate the efficacy of BRG1/BRM antagonists, such as the inhibitor FHD-286 and the degrader AU15330, in overcoming resistance to menin inhibitors in AML with MLL rearrangement or mutant NPM1. The studies...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York provides $2,775,137 to conduct research on the role of aging-related factors in the transformation of pre-leukemic conditions to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The key objectives are to 1) establish how transcriptional deregulation, inflammatory signals, and stromal niche interactions promote clonal outgrowth of pre-leukemic...
This $101,948 federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) supports research to characterize germline variants and perform functional validation of variants in a zebrafish model of high-risk pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The ultimate goal is to determine if predisposition risk factors like germline mutations and viral infections can be mitigated through screening or prophylaxis. The award, effective September 1,...

This Project Grant award of $662,938, provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Biology Research program (CFDA 93.396), supports research at Northwestern University to investigate the role of gain-of-function mutant p53 proteins in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The central objective is to determine how these p53 mutations promote leukemia-initiating cell self-renewal, chromatin accessibility, and 3D chromatin structure, which may contribute to therapy resistance in AML. The research employs a multidisciplinary approach including molecular, genetic, and genomic techniques such as RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, and Hi-C to elucidate the mechanisms by which mutant p53 proteins drive leukemogenesis. This 5-year project, running from December 2024 to November 2029, aims to uncover novel therapeutic targets for treating TP53-mutant AML, which is associated with poor prognosis.
