Symposium on "Advances in Immune Targeted Therapies"
Co-Chairs: Liliana Guedez, PhD, NCI, and Shaden Kamhawi, PhD, NIAID

Immunology-based technologies have significantly contributed to the development of therapies modulating the immune system. It is timely to discuss transfer of genetically modified T-cells, vaccines, genetically engineered antibodies and interleukins as some of the promising fronts in the war against many diseases. This symposium topic is of broad interest to NIH intramural investigators who have been leaders in the development and translational research of targeted immune therapeutics. As the results from clinical trials are provided, new and unexpected information is revealed as well as some mechanistic differences between pre-clinical models and humans are reported. This symposium will serve as a scientific platform to exchange cutting-edge clinical information on issues related to the immunotherapies, to know about the challenges encountered in the clinic, and to discuss experimental approaches on how to improve the clinical translation of therapies modulating the immune system.

Symposium on "Informing Therapeutic Interventions with Mechanism-Based Pharmacology and Toxicology"
Co-Chairs: Minkyung (Min) Song, PhD, NCI, and Juan Lertora, MD, PhD, CC

It is essential to translate mechanisms of drug action and toxicity into efficient discovery and development of safe and effective therapeutics. Elucidation of molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis and differential responses to drugs in individual patients will inform rational development of therapeutic interventions. Such research efforts will allow scientists to contribute to reducing late-stage drug attrition due to unanticipated toxicity or lack of clinical efficacy. During this symposium, the speakers will discuss:
• Mechanism-based repurposing of an agent for potential treatment of various liver diseases;
• Development of therapeutic strategies and novel bioactive substances by understanding molecular pharmacology and toxicology of candidate agents;
• Mechanisms of microbial drug resistance within the host;
• Incorporation of molecular characteristics and biological functions of therapeutic targets during the discovery of drug candidates;
• Identification of somatic activating mutations in the disease pathway to inform targeted therapies; and
• Use of positron emission tomography tracers as molecular imaging probes to guide the development of therapeutic interventions.

October 6, 2010 (Wednesday) 9:00-11:00 a.m.
Natcher Conference Center Conference Room F1/F2

Recent advances in molecular analysis technologies and bioinformatics have allowed investigators to discover additional targets and pathways that are associated with diseases. Investigational agents, including those previously evaluated in the clinic but shelved due to various reasons, and approved therapeutic interventions could now be used to treat diverse diseases, including rare and neglected diseases, that share common targets and pathways. During this symposium, the NIH investigators will discuss their pioneering, drug repurposing research that allows the development of new indications, new formulations, or new combinations of available agents. Through the drug repurposing efforts, proof-of-concept studies during translational and clinical research would be substantially advanced. These efforts would undoubtedly result in an increased number of therapeutic choices for individual patients. Organizations at the NIH including the NIH Center for Translational Therapeutics and the Chemical Biology Consortium are actively engaging NIH scientists to expand these efforts.

Natcher Conference Center Conference Room E1/E2

Advances in “–omics” technologies, bioinformatics, and epidemiology have allowed biomedical research investigators to identify clinically relevant molecular profiles and biomarkers. In this symposium, speakers will discuss the use of molecular signatures and biomarkers in understanding mechanisms of diseases and their tissue-specific subtypes; identifying common pathways to diseases; diagnosing diseases and clinical symptoms; predicting responses of patients to targeted therapies; tracking natural history; and exploring molecular mechanisms underlying effects of therapies. Molecular profiles and biomarkers are key tools for bridging basic, preclinical, and clinical research.

2008 NIH Research Festival

The TRIG hosted a symposium during the 2008 NIH Research Festival , "Bridging the Gap between Research Discoveries and Clinical Evaluation" (Chair: Minkyung Song, PhD, NCI).  In order to improve public health, the NIH Roadmap initiatives are accelerating the translation of scientific discoveries into practical applications.  Significant advances in basic science research, molecular analysis technologies, bioinformatics, and validated procedures for collecting and storing high-quality clinical specimens have occurred in recent years.  Enormous amounts of data, information, and resources are available for physician scientists and basic research scientists to work together to correlate laboratory data with clinical observations.  Efforts are being made to improve and expedite the therapeutics development process by intelligently closing the gap between research discoveries and clinical practice, to ultimately benefit patients. 


During this mini-symposium, speakers discussed the following topics: 
  • Improvement of preclinical models by translating clinical research and epidemiological data on the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in Alzheimer’s disease; 
  • The application of laboratory discoveries to proof-of-concept clinical studies in kidney cancer; 
  • Translational research on autoinflammatory diseases; 
  • A personalized genomics project featuring collaboration among NIH Institutes; 
  • Discovery and clinical evaluation of genetic and proteomic biomarkers of head and neck cancer for assessment of response to therapies, recurrence, and survival in collaboration with extramural cooperative groups
