Engineered biomaterials for lymph node drug delivery and disease modeling enable next-generation approaches in cancer immunotherapy
The advent of the cancer immunotherapy era has created wide-reaching new opportunities for drug delivery and biomaterial technologies to impact cancer therapy. Major barriers to the safer and more effective treatment of cancer using immunotherapy include achieving sufficient drug doses in target tissues at appropriate time scales as well as enabling drug synergies by co-delivery of combination therapies. More effective modeling of immunotherapy effects in disease-relevant preclinical models also represents a critical hurdle to the effective translation of newly developed therapies, that could likewise enable the developmen...

IIG Seminar - The tumor antigenic landscape associated with T cell infiltration and immunoediting.
The Bassani-Sternberg lab focuses on identifying clinically relevant cancer-specific Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) ligands that will guide the development of personalized cancer immunotherapy using mass-spectrometry (MS), currently the only methodology to identify unbiasedly HLA binding peptides that are presented in vivo to cytotoxic T cells. Her group has developed proteogenomics and MS-based immunopeptidomics analytical and computational approaches to identify HLA ligands derived from tumor-associated proteins, mutated neoantigens, non-canonical ORFs and post translationally modified peptides. In the clinic, the Bassani...

INSPIRED Symposium: Insights in Pediatric CAR T-cell Immunotherapy: Recent Advances and Future Directions
With the primary goal to bring together the expanding pediatric and young adult CAR T-cell community, in addressing major clinical advances achieved over the last decade and outstanding gaps warranting further focus, we aim to reflect on the 10+ year experience of CAR T-cell delivery to pediatric and young adults with B-cell malignancies. Based on experience gained over this time, this conference will focus on highlighting current best practices, opportunities to address unmet needs, and areas where future research is needed or ongoing. Our primary goal for this conference is to allow for cross-fertilization and collaborat...

IIG Seminar - Exciting Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Prof. Gazit studies hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) – the adult stem cells that give rise to all types of blood and immune cells. Not only are HSCs of vital importance for the entire blood and immune system, but they are also the functional unit enabling bone marrow transplants. HSCs are already saving tens of thousands of patients every year by using them in bone marrow transplants. Prof. Gazit ’ s lab seeks to directly reprogram blood cells back to HSCs in order to generate novel models for leukemia study and understand HSCs within the immune response. Using advanced molecular biology enables the discovery of key reg...

Health Disparities among Sexual and Gender Minorities (SGM) - Day 1
The goal of this virtual two-day meeting is to identify priority research areas to understand and address SGM health disparities. Specifically, the workshop objectives are to identify research gaps in: (1) data sources and measures that can be used to assess and address SGM health disparities, (2) mechanisms and pathways that drive/cause SGM health disparities, and (3) interventions with the potential to mitigate/reduce SGM health disparities. The workshop will bring together a diverse set of researchers with expertise on important health outcomes (e.g., cancer, mental/behavioral health, cardiovascular disease, diabetes an...

NIH Director ’ s Seminar: The Power and Potential of the Microenvironment in Cancer Metastasis
NIH Director ’ s Seminar
The tumor microenvironment – cellular and molecular changes in non-cancer cells and tissues – drive cancer progression. The pre-metastatic niche is the microenvironment important for metastatic initiation that is established at distant sites in response to primary tumor factors during cancer progression. We first characterized this microenvironment, which involves changes in both stromal and immune populations, in the pre-metastatic lungs of tumor-bearing mice. We have identified unique changes in these pre-metastatic sites by flow cytometry and RNA sequencing approaches, defining a gene sign...

NIH Director ’ s Seminar Series: The Power and Potential of the Microenvironment in Cancer Metastasis
Although genetic including epigenetic alterations are the driving events in cancer, the tumor microenvironment, the cellular and molecular changes in non-cancer cells and tissues are altered during cancer progression. The microenvironment is involved in multiple aspect of cancer progression. Tumor metastasis is a critical step in the progression of solid tumors that is associated with patient mortality, and the metastatic microenvironment is a key regulator of this process. The pre-metastatic niche is the microenvironment important for metastatic initiation that is established at distant sites in response to primary tumor ...
