NCRM Special Seminar
November 5, 12p
WRB 3-136
The
National Center for Regenerative Medicine (NCRM) is hosting a special seminar on Tuesday, November 5 at 12p in WRB conference room 3-136 featuring
David Dean, PhD.
Dr. Dean is associate professor of plastic surgery at The Ohio State University and Member of The Center for Regenerative Medicine and Cell-Based Therapies.
Dr. Dean's research has led to the development of computer-aided design software for the additive manufacture, also referred to as 3D printing, of tissue-engineered bone implants. His research program currently includes the seeding of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in 3D printed bone tissue engineering scaffolds. These scaffolds are bioreactor pre-cultured prior to implantation. Much of this research has focused on the repair of critical size and larger cranial defects.

Cancer Center Seminar Series
November 8, 12p
WRB Auditorium
Next Friday at noon, our seminar will return to the WRB Auditorium and feature Johnie Rose, MD, PhD presenting, Using Data to Target Cancer Control and Prevention."
Dr. Rose is Assistant Professor, Center for Community Health Integration, Co-Director of the Population Cancer Analytics Shared Resource, and member of the Cancer Prevention, Control & Population Research Program at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center.
His research applies a range of data science methods to guide intervention and data collection with the overarching goal of improving population cancer prevention and control.
For this seminar, Dr. Rose will describe recent work building a cancer informatics data infrastructure which captures multi-level data on catchment area cancer outcomes and population. He will also cover his computer modeling work which simulates recurrence of colon cancer among successfully treated patients with Stage I to III disease. The model has been ‘trained’ using clinical trial data and externally validated. It can be used to predict the outcomes of user-defined groups of survivors under alternative surveillance regimens and to determine optimal regimens for a given group.

The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center will host the Clinical Research Retreat, a semi-annual showcase of clinical cancer research across our institutions from 5-7 pm on Thursday, November 21 at Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute, CA5-120.
The evening's
agenda is focused on two timely and exciting areas of cancer clinical research. First, attendees will hear from current NCI K12 Paul Calabresi Scholars, Molly Gallogly, Roberto Vargas, Kristen VanHeyst and Haider Mahdi who will discuss their innovative investigator initiated treatment (IIT) protocol that is based on preclinical models. Since development of an exciting IIT protocol takes a village, your feedback will be important.
Secondly,
Charles Kunos, MD, PhD, a clinical investigator and protocol reviewer at CTEP, NCI will deliver his keynote address, "Engaging CTEP in early phase radiopharmaceutical trials" updating us on innovative approaches to evaluate this drug class. Dr. Kunos is a graduate of our long-standing K12 program and was a member of the

The New York Times - Oct 17, 2019
“In my experience, people who start therapy before they’re ready are more likely to experience side effects and to not complete their therapy, or to get treated haphazardly. It’s better if you start the treatment when you can jump in wholeheartedly, and without regrets" writes
Mikkael Sekeres, MD, hematologist medical oncologist at Cleveland Clinic and Deputy Associate Director for Clinical Research at the Case CCC.
