P63, P13K and RAS oncogenes in tumorigenesis, immune deregulation and therapy of squamous cell carcinoma
|
Research Initiative
|
FDA
|
NIDCD
|
At the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Weinberg is transducing murine keratinocytes with combinations of oncogenes found in human squamous cell carcinomas to determine if they generate transformation and tumors in laboratory conditions. Dr. Van Waes’ laboratory at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) will study how these oncogene-driven tumors in mice deregulate keratinocytes and host immune responses, as well as response to various standard, molecular, and immune therapies.

The Pathogen Detection Project is a multi-agency collaboration that is combining data from pathogen outbreaks with other information to determine the major source of contamination. The project is conducted via a centralized system that integrates sequence data for bacterial pathogens obtained from food, the environment, and human patients. A number of public health agencies in the US and internationally are collecting samples from these sources to facilitate active, real-time surveillance of pathogens and foodborne disease. The agencies sequence the samples and submit the data to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a division of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which analyzes the sequences against others in its database to identify closely related sequences. The aim is to uncover potential sources of contamination by linking isolates from food or the environment to human illness and to quickly report the sequence relationships to public health scientists in order to aid traceback investigations and outbreak response. Collaborating agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), USDA-Food Safety and Inspection Service, and Public Health England. The US agencies formalized their collaboration in a charter document (Interagency Collaboration on Genomics for Food and Feed Safety (Gen-FS)) that includes coordinating activities on antimicrobial resistance.
