MiamiOH OARS on 04 Dec 18This year, PCAN has partnered with the Celgene Corporation to accelerate the development of novel therapies by establishing strong relationships between academia and industry through research grants. Funded projects will benefit from industry input and insight, leading to an accelerated translation to a therapeutic product. Projects should aim to identify novel targets and approaches to the treatment of pancreatic cancer or understand and circumvent treatment resistance. Of particular interest are projects that fall into at least one of these three areas of research: a) immune context and tumor micro-environment interactions; (b) regulators of pathogenesis, progression, and metabolism, with particular interest in epigenetic mechanisms; and (c) transcriptional networks essential for viability and maintenance of malignant phenotype.
