SiDMAP chief scientist to collaborate on cancer research grant with Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
April 7, 2010 — SiDMAP, LLC , a privately held life-science company that provides metabolomics research services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and the academic biomedical research community worldwide, reported that its Chief Scientist, Laszlo Boros, M.D., has been designated as Co-Principal Investigator on a new cancer research grant awarded to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
The new grant, funded by the National Institutes of Health / National Cancer Institute, provides support for metabolic profiling research in lung cancer. Shyam Biswal, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, in Baltimore, is Principal Investigator on the grant. "Regulation of Tumorigenesis and Therapeutic Resistance by Nrf2 in Lung Cancer," will test the hypothesis that a gain in function of the gene transcription factor Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor) promotes tumorigenesis in the presence of an oncogenic (cancer-causing) signal.
"SiDMAP opens new avenues for understanding and treating cancer by revealing the functional impact of known gene mutations on a complex hierarchy of metabolic reactions," said Dr. Boros. He added, "SiDMAP is always glad to collaborate with top university investigators, such as our colleagues at Johns Hopkins, to accelerate research in the cancer field."
