अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Sarah Bernhardt, Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Vitamin D as a Preventive Agent for Young Women’s Breast Cancer
नामित पुरस्कार: Stohlman Family Grant in memory of Richard Stohlman and Margaret Weigand
पद: Postdoctoral Fellow
संस्थान: Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR
Cancer prevention strategies targeted to time periods of increased breast cancer risk have the potential to increase treatment efficacy while reducing side effects of long-term treatments. Dr. Bernhardt proposes to test the efficacy of vitamin D, an agent with anti-cancer actions, for breast cancer prevention.
अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Francesca Gany, M.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: FITx3
नामित पुरस्कार: बहुत बढ़िया खेल जल्दी से हो गया
पद: Chief, Immigrant Health and Cancer Disparities Service
संस्थान: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY
Black people are 40% more likely to die of colorectal cancer (CRC) than most other groups; however, screening improves survival. This project aims to increase CRC screening in the Black communities with low screening rates by adapting methods used to increase Black voter turnout and applying them to enable accessible fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) screening. FIT is a highly effective and potentially more acceptable screening method than colonoscopy.
अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Ju Youn Kim, Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: To Investigate the Roles of PIDDosome in NASH and HCC Development
नामित पुरस्कार: कांग्रेसनल परिवार कैंसर रोकथाम कार्यक्रम
पद: Staff Research Associate
संस्थान: The Regents of the University of California, San Diego, CA
With a diet-induced obese mouse model, Dr. Kim will address the role of capase-2 in liver steatosis, the first metabolic dysregulation found in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. This study will provide insight into the early detection of NASH and HCC progression.
अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Suzanne Miller, Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Feasibility of Text Messaging to Reduce Urban Cervical Cancer Disparities
नामित पुरस्कार: मार्सिया और फ्रैंक कार्लुची चैरिटेबल फाउंडेशन
पद: Professor
संस्थान: The Research Institute of Fox Chase Cancer Center
Cervical cancer is preventable, but underserved women in the U.S. have lower rates of recommended follow-up after an abnormal test result. This study will assess the feasibility, acceptability and usability of a text message-based tailored counseling intervention to increase follow-up care.
अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Gary Schwartz, Ph.D., M.P.H., Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Testing Radon Communication Methods: Clinical Trial of a Smartphone App
नामित पुरस्कार: रिचर्ड सी. डेवेरॉक्स उत्कृष्ट युवा अन्वेषक पुरस्कार
पद: Professor and Founding Chair Department of Population Health
Institutions: University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND
Exposure to radon gas at home is the second largest cause of lung cancer (after smoking). Dr. Schwartz developed a 21st century approach to radon education—a smartphone app. His research compares information delivered via the radon app versus printed brochures, with potential wide implementation of the educational tool.
अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Tomotaka Ugai, Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Immune Characteristics of Early-Onset and Later-Onset Colorectal Cancers
नामित पुरस्कार: शूर फैमिली चैरिटेबल फाउंडेशन
पद: Postdoctoral Fellow
Institutions: Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, MA
This research study will provide the scientific foundation to explore possible influences of anti-tumor immunity on early-onset colorectal cancer and ultimately generate strategies to harness the immune system for prevention and early detection, with significant impact on clinical practice.
अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Lisa Yee, M.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: White Button Mushrooms and Breast Cancer Prevention
नामित पुरस्कार: बहुत बढ़िया खेल जल्दी से हो गया
पद: Professor, Vice Chair of Research, Department of Surgery
Institutions: Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope, Duarte, CA
White button mushrooms (WBM) may reduce breast cancer risk. In a WBM trial with obese women at high risk of breast cancer, Dr. Yee will test blood and breast fat before and after WBM consumption for effects on immune cell and inflammation biomarkers. This study data will support future WBM breast cancer prevention trials.
