Mass spectrometry imaging applications to support clinical decision making
Proteomics Interest Group
Mass spectrometry provides multiple options for the direct characterization of tissue to support surgical decision-making, and provides significant insight in the development of drugs targeting tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). Using an array of mass spectrometry (MS) applications, we rapidly analyze specific tumor markers ranging from small metabolites to proteins from surgical tissue for rapid diagnosis and surgical guidance. Using similar clinical protocols, we visualize drug and metabolites penetration in brain tumor tissue and correlate with tumor heterogeneity and response to suppo...

Of bones, brain, and fat: macrophages and the control of homeostasis
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Over the past ten years, we have investigated the developmental origin and homeostasis of macrophages and the related cell types monocytes and dendritic cells. These cells play a major role in development, homeostasis and diverse types of cancer and can either restrain or promote cancer progression and metastasis. The Geissmann lab is now building on previous work to investigate mechanisms by which tissue macrophages may control tissue growth and metabolism and whether these same mechanisms play a role in cancer initiation and development.For more information go tohttps://o...

Proteogenomics of Breast Cancer
NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds
Dr. Matthew Ellis ’ s clinical and basic research focuses on breast cancer. He has developed neoadjuvant endocrine therapy as an alternative to chemotherapy for promoting breast-conserving therapy in postmenopausal women with ER+ HER2- stage 2 and 3 disease. He developed and validated the Ki67 proliferation marker-based Preoperative Endocrine Prognostic Index which is now undergoing a large validation study (the ALTERNATE study). These clinical studies have provided the clinical context and tumor specimens for seminal investigations into the ER+ breast cancer somatic ge...

T Cell-Based Immunotherapy Approaches for Gliomas
NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds
As a physician – scientist, Dr. Okada has been dedicated to brain tumor immunology and development of effective immunotherapy for brain tumor patients for over 20 years. His team was one of very first to discover cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes in glioma-associated and glioma-specific antigens. Dr. Okada also found critical roles for the integrin receptor very late activation antigen (VLA)-4 and the chemokine CXCL10 in facilitating entry of CTLs to the brain tumor site. Dr. Okada has translated these discoveries into a number of innovative immunotherapy clinical s...
