Project Grant R37CA295736
- This $421,685 federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) supports research conducted by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the "reactive" immune system in tumors and the tumor microenvironment. The study aims to discover discrete immune cell niches within the tumor that can enhance the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies. Using innovative spatial transcriptomics, genetic tools, and cellular...
- This $640,583 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to conduct research aimed at enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy against metastatic colorectal cancer. The primary goal is to activate the PPARD-CPT1A axis in CD8+ T cells to boost their anti-tumor immunity and improve treatment outcomes for patients with microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer, who typically respond poorly...
- This $284,201.82 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, will fund research into malignant cell engagement in immune circuits of human colorectal cancer. The Broad Institute, Inc. will utilize single cell RNA sequencing data from over 700,000 malignant, immune, and stromal cells from colorectal cancer patients to test the hypothesis that malignant cells expressing interferon-stimulated genes acutely promote anti-tumor immunity,...
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $170,641 Project Grant under the Cancer Research Manpower (CFDA 93.398) program to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. (DFCI) in Boston, Massachusetts. The purpose of this 2-year award, which runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027, is to advance the understanding of tumor-immune spatial interactions in mismatch-repair stratified colorectal cancers. The research aims to identify immunologically distinct subsets of mismatch-repair proficient...
- This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 - Cancer Research Manpower program) provides $154,642 to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York to conduct research on identifying conserved cancer-specific immunopeptide targets in metastatic colorectal cancer. The project aims to systematically elucidate the evolving immunopeptidome (peptides presented by HLA class I molecules) from patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids to reveal targetable...
- The Project Grant award of $424,734 from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) supports the development of a novel spatial proteomics approach to profile immune cell types and their locations within a tumor microenvironment. The University of Illinois, the awardee, aims to integrate 3D microscopy techniques with bottom-up proteomic assays to offer deep proteome profiles of specific immune cells at various subregions of a mouse tumor (Aims 1 and 2). The goal is...
- This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) supports research at Stanford University to investigate how the human gut microbiome can be modulated to enhance immune responses against cancer, with a focus on improving the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy treatments. The $179,988 award, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026, aims to identify bacterial genes and functions that can boost the body's immune response to immune...
- This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) supports research by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to genetically engineer myeloid cells, including macrophages and dendritic cells, for the treatment of solid tumors. The $0.00 award, with a project period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, aims to apply advanced genetic engineering tools to reprogram myeloid cells and enhance their tumoricidal activities and resistance to...
- This federal Project Grant award of $205,700 from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) supports research at the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York aimed at understanding and overcoming rapid resistance to targeted therapies in colorectal cancer. The key objectives are to evaluate how intrinsic tumor features modulate the development of resistance to targeted therapies, and to test a novel combination approach to...
- This $546,625 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) aims to conduct research on targeting the irhom protein to improve colon cancer immunotherapy. The grant was awarded to the University of Pittsburgh, a prominent public research university, on January 9, 2025, with a planned completion date of December 31, 2029. The key objectives of this project are to explore the role of irhom proteins, particularly irhom1, in regulating...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) will support the development of a "Spatial Profiling-Based Immune Hub Perturbation Platform" to improve immunotherapy for colorectal cancer. The $710,361 award to J. David Gladstone Institutes will fund research to create a novel experimental framework to systematically test and prioritize candidate genes and therapies based on their ability to induce effective anti-tumor immune hubs - spatially organized networks between cancer cells, T cells, and other immune cells. This research aims to address the limited success of current immunotherapies in solid tumors like colorectal cancer by better understanding the complex tumor immune microenvironment. The award period runs from August 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030.
