LA JOLLA \u2013 Juniorprofessor Christina T\u00fcrme<\/a> wurde zu einem 2022 ernannt Pew-Stewart-Stipendiat f\u00fcr Krebsforschung<\/a> als Teil einer Partnerschaft zwischen The Pew Charitable Trusts und dem Alexander and Margaret Stewart Trust. Towers geh\u00f6rt zu den sechs Nachwuchswissenschaftlern dieses Jahres, die jeweils $300.000 \u00fcber die n\u00e4chsten vier Jahre erhalten, um ihre Forschung zur besseren Erforschung der Ursachen, Diagnose und Behandlung von Krebs zu unterst\u00fctzen.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristie ist eine innovative Forscherin, die weiterhin die Grenzen des Verst\u00e4ndnisses der biologischen Grundlagen von Krebs verschiebt,\u201d sagt der Salk-Pr\u00e4sident Rostiger Gage. <\/a>\u201cWir sind begeistert und stolz darauf, dass ihre vielversprechende Arbeit zu Stoffwechselprozessen bei Krebs von The Pew Charitable Trusts sowie dem Alexander and Margaret Stewart Trust anerkannt wird.\u201d<\/p>\n

Towers, der Teil von Salks NCI-designated ist Krebszentrum<\/a>, entdeckt, dass eine Unterpopulation von Krebszellen trotz des Verlusts eines lebenswichtigen Stoffwechselprozesses \u00fcberleben kann. Diese Krebszellen k\u00f6nnen ihre N\u00e4hrstoffe zusammen mit energieerzeugenden Mitochondrien recyceln, um in n\u00e4hrstoffarmen Umgebungen, wie sie in soliden Tumoren vorkommen, zu wachsen, und zwar mithilfe eines Prozesses, der als Autophagie bezeichnet wird. In ihrem Labor untersucht Towers einen Mechanismus, der es Tumorzellen erm\u00f6glicht, sich schnell zu replizieren und Behandlungen gegen Krebsresistenz zu widerstehen, die auf diese Autophagiewege abzielen. Mithilfe einer Kombination von Techniken m\u00f6chte sie die besten Wege identifizieren, um die von Krebszellen genutzten Recyclingwege zu adressieren. Ihre Forschung k\u00f6nnte zur Entwicklung neuer Krebstherapien f\u00fchren, die die Behandlungsergebnisse und das \u00dcberleben von Patienten verbessern.<\/p>\n

Als Pew-Stewart-Stipendiatin wird Towers das Verst\u00e4ndnis von Wissenschaftlern f\u00fcr Autophagie und die Anpassung von Krebszellen, wenn dieser Signalweg blockiert wird, vertiefen. Sie wird untersuchen, ob diese Zellen durch angeborene, bereits vorhandene Mechanismen \u00fcberlebensf\u00e4hig sind oder ob sie diese Eigenschaft als Reaktion auf Umweltreize entwickeln. Towers wird die Mittel aus dieser Auszeichnung auch verwenden, um ein Werkzeug zur Blockierung der Autophagie mittels lichtbasierter genetischer Manipulation zu entwickeln, das Wissenschaftlern helfen wird, die Geschwindigkeit zu verfolgen, mit der sich Zellen anpassen, wenn die Autophagie beeintr\u00e4chtigt ist.<\/p>\n

Towers hat zahlreiche Auszeichnungen erhalten, darunter einen Pathway to Independence Award vom NIH, einen Cancer League of Colorado Pilot Award, ein American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship, zwei NRSA NIH T32 Awards, ein UNCF\/Merck Graduate Science Research Dissertation Fellowship, ein NIH R0-1 Diversity Supplement Graduate Fellowship und drei UC Department of Pharmacology Excellence in Research Awards sowie viele andere. Au\u00dferdem wurde sie k\u00fcrzlich zu einer Keystone Symposia Fellow 2022 ernannt.<\/p>\n

Das Pew-Stewart Scholars Program f\u00fcr Krebsforschung ist eine nationale Initiative, die darauf abzielt, vielversprechende Wissenschaftler in einer fr\u00fchen Karrierephase zu unterst\u00fctzen, deren Forschung die Entdeckung beschleunigen und den Fortschritt auf dem Weg zu einer Heilung von Krebs vorantreiben wird. Die Pew-Stewart Scholars haben ein enormes Potenzial, einige der gr\u00f6\u00dften Herausforderungen im Bereich Krebs zu l\u00f6sen.<\/p>\n

\u00dcber die Treuhandfonds:<\/strong>
\nDie Pew Charitable Trusts sind eine 1948 gegr\u00fcndete globale, nichtstaatliche Organisation, die sich zum Ziel gesetzt hat, die \u00f6ffentliche Politik zu verbessern, die \u00d6ffentlichkeit zu informieren und das b\u00fcrgerliche Leben zu beleben. Angetrieben von der Kraft des Wissens, bem\u00fchen sich die Trusts, die schwierigsten Probleme von heute zu l\u00f6sen. Erfahren Sie mehr unter\u00a0pewtrusts.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Der Alexander and Margaret Stewart Trust ist eine wohlt\u00e4tige Stiftung, die innovative Wissenschaftler unterst\u00fctzt, die Krebs erforschen, sowie herausragende gemeinn\u00fctzige Organisationen, die sich um die Verbesserung der Lebensqualit\u00e4t von Krebspatienten und Kindern mit Krankheiten bem\u00fchen. Der Trust engagiert sich f\u00fcr die Entdeckung sicherer und wirksamer Methoden zur Erkennung, Behandlung und letztendlichen Heilung von Krebs.

\u00dcber das Salk Institute for Biological Studies:<\/strong>
\nJede Heilung hat einen Anfang. Das Salk Institute verk\u00f6rpert die Mission von Jonas Salk, den Mut zu haben, Tr\u00e4ume wahr werden zu lassen. Seine international renommierten und preisgekr\u00f6nten Wissenschaftler erforschen die Grundlagen des Lebens und suchen nach neuen Erkenntnissen in den Bereichen Neurowissenschaften, Genetik, Immunologie, Pflanzenbiologie und dar\u00fcber hinaus. Das Institut ist eine unabh\u00e4ngige gemeinn\u00fctzige Organisation und ein architektonisches Wahrzeichen: klein nach Wahl, vertraut von Natur aus und furchtlos angesichts jeder Herausforderung. Ob Krebs oder Alzheimer, Altern oder Diabetes, in Salk beginnen die Heilmittel.
