DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The principle investigator's career goal is to be a successful translational researcher in the field of Clinical Pharmacology. With this Award, she plans to further her training in systems biology, statistical genetics and bioinformatics. She proposes to extend a genome-wide model developed during her fellowship to broader therapeutic application beyond chemotherapy and validate her findings in patient samples. The PI's long-term goal is to combine her patient care knowledge from Pharmacy school and research knowledge through her work in Pharmacogenetics to eventually improve the quality of life for patients. Dr. Eileen Dolan (Internationally recognized researcher in pharmacogenomics) will serve as the PI's main mentor; while Drs. Nancy Cox (internationally recognized statistical geneticist) and Mark Ratain (internationally recognized leader in pharmacogenetics and phase I trial design) will co-mentor the PI's scientific and career development. Her advisory committee consists of Drs. Scott Weiss, Julian Solway and Kelan Tantisira, who will provide scientific guidance in utilizing patient samples in studying pharmacogenomics markers for glucocorticoid (GC) sensitivity in asthma. An objective of this proposal is to take a concerted translational effort to elucidate the underlying cause for the inter-individual differences in sensitivity to GCs, one of the most commonly used agents in treating inflammatory diseases such as asthma, inflammatory bowel disease and arthritis. Our hypothesis is that a novel genome-wide model developed using International HapMap lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) are suitable in identification of genetic polymorphisms as predictors of cellular sensitivity to GCs. Our specific aims are 1) To develop and refine GC sensitivity phenotypic assays to quantify in vitro GC response and toxicity; 2) To identify genetic polymorphisms that are associated with GC susceptibility phenotypes through gene expression; 3) To validate candidate genetic variants/genes in patient samples. Our long-term goal is to predict patients "at risk" for adverse events and/or non-response prior to administration of GCs.

描述（由申请人提供）：主要研究者的职业目标是成为临床药理学领域成功的转化研究人员。有了这个奖项，她计划继续她在系统生物学、统计遗传学和生物信息学方面的培训。她建议将她在研究期间开发的全基因组模型扩展到化疗以外的更广泛的治疗应用，并在患者样本中验证她的发现。PI的长期目标是将她从药学院获得的患者护理知识与她在药物遗传学方面的研究知识结合起来，最终提高患者的生活质量。Eileen Dolan博士（国际公认的药物基因组学研究人员）将担任PI的主要导师；而Drs。Nancy Cox（国际公认的统计遗传学家）和Mark Ratain（国际公认的药物遗传学和I期试验设计领导者）将共同指导PI的科学和职业发展。她的顾问委员会由博士。Scott Weiss， Julian Solway和Kelan Tantisira，他们将为利用患者样本研究哮喘中糖皮质激素（GC）敏感性的药物基因组学标记提供科学指导。GCs是治疗炎症性疾病（如哮喘、炎症性肠病和关节炎）最常用的药物之一，本提案的目的是采取协调一致的转化努力来阐明个体间对GCs敏感性差异的潜在原因。我们的假设是，使用International HapMap淋巴母细胞样细胞系（LCLs）开发的一种新的全基因组模型适用于鉴定遗传多态性作为细胞对GCs敏感性的预测因子。我们的具体目标是：1)发展和完善GC敏感性表型分析，以量化体外GC反应和毒性；2)通过基因表达鉴定与GC易感表型相关的遗传多态性；3)验证患者样本中的候选遗传变异/基因。我们的长期目标是在给予GCs之前预测患者的不良事件和/或无反应的“风险”。
