LA JOLLA (25 de septiembre de 2023)\u2014Profesores asistentes del Instituto Salk Christina Towers<\/a> y Deepshika Ramanan<\/a> fueron nombrados V Scholars por la V Foundation for Cancer Research. Cada uno recibir\u00e1 $600,000 durante tres a\u00f1os para financiar sus objetivos \u00fanicos de investigaci\u00f3n sobre el c\u00e1ncer.<\/p>\n

\u201cEn nombre de todos nuestros colegas de Salk, estamos orgullosos de felicitar a Christie y Shika por este destacado reconocimiento\u201d, dice el presidente de Salk. Gerald Joyce<\/a>. \u201cCon su dedicaci\u00f3n y enfoques innovadores, ambos encarnan la misi\u00f3n de Salk de superar los l\u00edmites del conocimiento y generar un impacto significativo en el mundo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Towers fue incluida en la primera clase de beneficiarias de \"A Grant of Her Own: The Women Scientists Innovation Award for Cancer Research\" de la Fundaci\u00f3n V, que fue creado para ayudar a contrarrestar las largas disparidades de g\u00e9nero en la investigaci\u00f3n. Es miembro del Centro de C\u00e1ncer del Salk, designado por el Instituto Nacional del C\u00e1ncer, donde trabaja para descubrir los mecanismos que las c\u00e9lulas cancerosas utilizan para reciclar nutrientes y mitocondrias generadoras de energ\u00eda para crecer en entornos con pocos nutrientes. Utiliza una combinaci\u00f3n de t\u00e9cnicas y herramientas que van desde la edici\u00f3n y manipulaci\u00f3n gen\u00e9tica hasta \u00f3rganos miniatura tridimensionales.<\/p>\n

Con su V Scholar Award, Towers investigar\u00e1 estos mecanismos de reciclaje en el c\u00e1ncer de p\u00e1ncreas. El c\u00e1ncer de p\u00e1ncreas es uno de los c\u00e1nceres m\u00e1s mortales, una estad\u00edstica que inspir\u00f3 a Towers a asumir el desaf\u00edo de identificar sus puntos d\u00e9biles para la focalizaci\u00f3n terap\u00e9utica. Ella utilizar\u00e1 mini \u00f3rganos pancre\u00e1ticos en el laboratorio para estudiar c\u00f3mo las v\u00edas de reciclaje de c\u00e9lulas de c\u00e1ncer de p\u00e1ncreas resistentes al tratamiento pueden promover o bloquear el crecimiento tumoral.<\/p>\n

Towers ha recibido numerosos premios, entre ellos un Pathway to Independence Award de los National Institutes of Health, una beca postdoctoral de la American Cancer Society y Premio de Liderazgo en Diversidad Cient\u00edfica<\/a> de la Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Adicionalmente, en 2022 fue nombrada una Becario Pew-Stewart para la Investigaci\u00f3n del C\u00e1ncer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ramanan es miembro del Salk Cancer Center y del Instituto Centro NOMIS de Inmunobiolog\u00eda y Patog\u00e9nesis Microbiana<\/a>, donde trabaja para descubrir los mecanismos que subyacen al c\u00e1ncer y a las enfermedades autoinmunes. Estudia c\u00f3mo el sistema inmunol\u00f3gico materno cambia durante el embarazo y la lactancia, y c\u00f3mo esto afecta la inmunidad y la inflamaci\u00f3n en los beb\u00e9s a trav\u00e9s de m\u00faltiples generaciones.<\/p>\n

Con su V Scholar Award, Ramanan estudiar\u00e1 los mecanismos por los cuales los factores de la leche materna pueden dar forma a los microbios intestinales y las c\u00e9lulas inmunitarias, y potencialmente proteger a generaciones del c\u00e1ncer colorrectal. Su trabajo proporcionar\u00e1 informaci\u00f3n muy necesaria sobre las interacciones entre las c\u00e9lulas inmunitarias, los microbios y la dieta, y su papel en la iniciaci\u00f3n y progresi\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer, inspirando a su vez un futuro en el que los factores de la leche materna podr\u00edan usarse para prevenir o tratar el c\u00e1ncer colorrectal.<\/p>\n

Ramanan fue reconocida previamente con un Premio Harold M. Weintraub para Estudiantes de Posgrado en 2016, el cual obtuvo durante su doctorado en la Universidad de Nueva York. En 2020, recibi\u00f3 el premio STAT Wunderkind en reconocimiento a su innovaci\u00f3n y potencial como una poderosa investigadora cient\u00edfica de pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n. En 2021, fue nombrada una de las principales investigadoras posdoctorales del pa\u00eds con el Premio Damon Runyon-Dale F. Frey para Cient\u00edficos Innovadores.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faculty":[382,418],"disease-research":[46],"class_list":["post-42759","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","hentry","faculty-christina-towers","faculty-deepshika-ramanan","disease-research-cancer-biology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nTwo Salk Institute faculty members earn V Foundation awards for cancer research - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/es\/news-release\/two-salk-institute-faculty-members-earn-v-foundation-awards-for-cancer-research\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Two Salk Institute faculty members earn V Foundation awards for cancer research - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA JOLLA (September 25, 2023)\u2014Salk Institute Assistant Professors Christina Towers and Deepshika Ramanan were named V Scholars by the V Foundation for Cancer Research.
