Wanted: Pancreatic Cancer Post-Doc Researcher
The
highly translational lab led by the Chief of Surgical Oncology, J
ordan Winter, MD, is seeking a post-doc scholar.
The lab works closely with other PIs at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, as well as clinical departments at University Hospitals, including collaborations with a multidisciplinary team of biologists, statisticians, and clinicians. The qualified candidate will prepare manuscripts and contribute preliminary data, background and significance and experimental design for grant proposals. The work focuses more specifically on understanding how pancreatic cancer cells adapt to survive and thrive in a harsh metabolic milieu, and additionally how metabolic reprogramming confers resistance to both conventional chemotherapy and novel immunotherapies. more>

Cancer Center Seminar Series: "PET Tracers to Advance Precision Cancer Medicine"
Feb 22, 12p | WRB Auditorium
Join us today at noon in the WRB auditorium as
guest speaker
Charles H. Manning, PhD presents, "PET Tracers to Advance Precision Cancer Medicine."
Dr. Manning is director of the Center for Molecular Probes, professor of radiology, chemistry, biology, biomedical engineering, neurosurgery, and chemical and physical biology at Vanderbilt University. He is also a Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center professor of cancer research and director of Cancer Imaging Research, Institute of Imaging Science at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Since 2006, his lab has focused on the discovery, translation and validation of chemical and molecular probes for cancer imaging and therapy. Overall, his lab seeks to discover and translate novel radiopharmaceuticals for imaging and chemical probes with therapeutic potential, with emphasis on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and personalized cancer medicine.
The Seminar Series
will
be
available to view via live stream. While we highly encourage you to attend in person to interact with our speakers and receive CME credit, we understand that may not always be possible. Presentations will not be recorded for later viewing, but you may watch the seminar in real time and ask questions via chat.

Colorectal Cancer Prevention Grant
Deadline: March 18, 2019
The Colorectal Cancer Alliance Chris4Life Research program will award one grant in colorectal cancer prevention in May 2019. Grant proposals must demonstrate substantial potential for impact on prevention/early detection of colorectal cancer.
Primary prevention focuses on efforts to prevent colorectal cancer before it ever occurs, and secondary prevention focuses on efforts to reduce the impact of disease that has already occurred such as early detection. Proposals in the following categories are welcomed as long as there is a direct link to primary or secondary colorectal cancer prevention.
- Basic
- Translational
- Clinical
- Population science
One grant in the amount of $150,000 will be awarded over a two-year period to support colorectal cancer prevention research. more>

Foundation for Women's Wellness Research
Awards
Deadline: April 5, 2019
FWW Research Awards target early funding for small,  short-term studies with promise for improving medical knowledge in cardiovascular disease, leading female cancers, the role of hormones in disease and stage-of-life health issues such as pregnancy and menopause and diseases disproportionately affecting women. FWW Research Awards are one-time, non-recurring grants of $25,000. The FWW favors research proposals that have direct clinical application in preventing and/or treating disease and studies with the promise of yielding results that will attract larger sources of funding for advancing study and influencing long-term research directions in its field. more>
