NJ ACTS congratulates Zemer Gitai, PhD, the Edwin Grant Conklin Professor of Biology and professor of molecular biology at Princeton University, and founder of ArrePath, a drug discovery spin-off. ArrePath has received a seed round of $20 million to advance its proprietary, machine learning-based platform for discovering new classes of anti-infectives. The startup company addressing the growing challenge of antibacterial resistance, identifying new antibiotics that more effectively treat drug-resistant infections. Dr. Gitai has served as a member of the NJ ACTS Pilot Project Management Committee and a mentor for a NJ ACTS trainee. He has also received a pilot award from NJ ACTS for other work in his research group.



Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER)

Maria Gennaro, MD, MSc, Professor in the Department of Medicine in NJMS and Professor of Epidemiology in the School of Public Health, has been nominated Inaugural Chair of the Microbiology Committee of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) program. The Microbiology Committee is one of six Pathobiology Multi-Disciplinary Task Force Committees coordinated by the RECOVER Clinical Science Core. Its goal is to shape the RECOVER protocols in important ways and to be a conduit between RECOVER investigators and Rutgers microbiologists who work on problems relevant to the study of Long COVID. Dr. Gennaro directs the NJ ACTS Biomarkers Core, with expertise in immunology, molecular and cellular biology; since the beginning of the COVID-19 public health crisis, Dr. Gennaro and her team have supported COVID-19 research and non-oncological translational research.

Lawrence Kleinman, a professor and vice chair of the Department of Pediatrics at RWJMS and a professor of global public health at the Rutgers School of Public Health and lead investigator for the Collaborative Long-term Study of Outcomes of COVID-19 in Kids (CLOCK) consortium at Rutgers. The CLOCK team will recruit children, adolescents and young adults from across the United States into the NIH’s RECOVER cohort study. RWJMS is expected to receive $30 million as part of its partnership with the RECOVER program to study long-term and delayed impacts of COVID-19 in children.

As of February 15, 2022, RECOVER studies have enrolled more than 670 participants. Sign up to share your interest in enrolling in a RECOVER study.

The Genomics Information Commons (GIC) invites the community to a NCATS-sponsored Un-Meeting on “Enabling and Promoting Inter-Institutional Clinical and Genomic Research.” The goal of the meeting is to solicit innovative and collaborative ideas from across the CTSA Consortium to evaluate acceptability and scalability of the GIC’s prototype system, and to ideate around next steps and future directions. Specific topics include: using and analyzing federated genome and phenome data; aligning consenting processes across the Consortium; GIC research topic opportunities – low hanging fruit; facilitation of inter-institutional research collaboration; and GIC cloud-hosted data and analytic environments and technologies for local institutional research.

The Genomic Information Commons (GIC) is an NCATS/NIH funded continuously updating, queryable, federated system enabling and promoting clinical and genomic research across eight pediatric hospitals.  The GIC has established highly scalable technologies, policies, and procedures for sharing genomic data, phenotypic data, and biospecimen metadata on broadly consented cohorts, across sites of care.

For more information on the Un-Meeting, https://clic-ctsa.org/genomic-research-un-meeting.

A regional biomedical conference to encourage cross-fertilization and interaction between graduate students and postdoctoral fellows doing great science across the New York Metro Area.

In addition to scientific talks from participants, there will also be an opportunity to gather information about Regeneron’s postdoctoral training program and other career opportunities at Regeneron.
