4th NCI Symposium on Cancer Health Disparities
Cancer health disparities affect millions of people across the United States and globally. Disparities in cancer burden are evident by geography, race/ethnicity, genetic ancestry, immigrant status, culture, gender, sexual orientation (LGBTQ+), and socioeconomic class, among other factors. Cancer disparities are not only due to barriers in access to health care, but also due to cultural barriers, structural racism and environmental disadvantage, ancestry-related risk factors, persistent co-morbidities, and chronic stress exposure because of discrimination and social isolation. The challenge of reducing and eliminating healt...

Active Living Conference (Day 2)
The 2023 Active Living Conference theme, Expanding Active Living Applications beyond Chronic Diseases to Synergistic Epidemics, or “ syndemics ” , focuses attention on the role of active living in addressing multiple intersecting crises, such as coronavirus disease (COVID-19), mental health, climate change, and structural racism. The Active Living Conference highlights research, policies, and practices based on a multilevel perspective. Physically active behaviors have been well documented to prevent, intercept, and treat several common chronic diseases, including multiple cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity....

IIG Seminar: NIH/FDA - Tobias Hohl
All people encounter, inhale, and ingest fungi on a daily basis. Although only several hundred of the estimated five million species of fungi worldwide cause disease in humans, advances in medical technologies and the global AIDS pandemic have dramatically increased our susceptibility to fungal disease. In cancer and bone marrow transplant patients, the filamentous mold Aspergillus fumigatus and the commensal fungus Candida albicans represent significant causes of infection-related morbidity and mortality. At present, no fungal vaccines have been licensed for clinical use, and contemporary antifungal therapies for systemic...

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...
