The Telomere Syndromes: A Paradigm for Molecular Medicine
The Trans-NIH GeroScience Interest Group (GSIG) cordially invites you to its winter seminar, featuring Dr. Mary Armanios. Dr. Mary Armanios is an Associate Professor in the Department of Oncology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Armanios’ clinical and research interests focus on disorders caused by telomere dysfunction. Their goal is to define approaches to surveillance, diagnosis and treatment for patients with telomere-mediated disease. Human syndromes associated with telomere shortening were first identified in the context of dyskeratosis congenita, a premature aging syndrome that predisposes to can...

Normalizing the Tumor Microenvironment to Enhance Cancer Treatment
Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series For more than three decades, Dr. Jain's laboratory research has focused on one challenge: improving the delivery and efficacy of anti-cancer therapies. Working on the hypothesis that the abnormal tumor microenvironment fuels tumor progression and treatment resistance, the Jain laboratory has developed an array of novel imaging technologies and animal models as well as mathematical models to unravel the complex biology of tumors. They demonstrated that the blood and lymphatic vasculature, fibroblasts, immune cells, and the extracellular matrix associated with tumors are abnormal and togeth...
