The Coding, Decoding, Transfer, and Translation of Information in Cancer

描述(由申请人提供)：NU-PS-OC的行政职能将在Robert H.Lurie综合癌症和生命过程化学研究所的支持下运作。行政部门将共同监督和促进与以下机构的互动：NCI计划工作人员、中心咨询委员会(CAC)、NU-PS-OC中心内部、PS-OC网络、PS-OC指导委员会(PSC)和PS-OC网络外部。此外，行政部门还将规划、执行和监督国家警察组织中心、试点项目方案、跨网络项目方案、外联和传播股以及教育和培训股的日常运作。首席研究员乔纳森·维多姆博士是一名物理学家，他是西北大学凯克生物物理设施的首席研究员，任职于化学、生物化学、分子和细胞生物学。Widom博士在物理科学研究、创新和教育方面的培训、专业知识和丰富的经验使他成为领导物理科学-肿瘤学中心的理想人选。高级联合调查员乔纳森·利希特博士补充了Widom博士的观点，从癌症研究人员和临床医生的角度阐述了癌症研究进展的理论和实践障碍。罗伯特·H·卢里综合癌症中心主任史蒂文·T·罗森博士与NU-PS-OC中心作为中心咨询委员会成员的密切参与将确保西北大学临床肿瘤学和肿瘤生物学科学家与NU-PS-OC的物理学家紧密合作，并将有助于加快研究突破在整个癌症社区的传播。生命过程化学研究所所长Thomas V.O‘Halloran作为PS-OC项目(项目3)的调查员和PS-OC中心咨询委员会的参与，确保了NU-PS-OC和生命过程化学研究所之间的互利关系。项目经理希拉·M·贾奇博士在科学研究、教学和行政管理方面拥有广泛的背景，这将使她能够将科学和规划指令转化为操作目标，并与教职员工和大学管理部门有效合作，实现这些目标。一名助理项目经理将负责中心的日常运营。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The administrative functions of the NU-PS-OC will operate under the aegis of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer and Chemistry of Life Processes Institute. The Administration will collectively provide oversight and facilitate interactions with: NCI program staff, the Center Advisory Committee (CAC), within the NU-PS-OC Center, the PS-OC Network, the PS-OC Steering Committee (PSC), and outside the PS-OC Network. In addition, the Administration will plan, implement and oversee day-to-day operations of the NU-PS-OC Center, the Pilot Project Program, the Trans-Network Project Program, the Outreach and Dissemination Unit, and the Education and Training Unit. The Principal Investigator is Jonathan Widom, PhD, a physical scientist who is Principal Investigator of the Keck Biophysics Facility at Northwestern University with appointments in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology. Dr. Widom's training, expertise, and extensive experience in physical science research, innovation, and education makes him ideally suited to lead the Physical Sciences-Oncology Center. The Senior Co-Investigator, Dr. Jonathan Licht, complements Dr. Widom by providing the perspective of a cancer researcher and clinician regarding theoretical and practical roadblocks to progress in cancer research. The close involvement of Dr. Steven T. Rosen, Director of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center with the NU-PS-OC Center as a member of the Center Advisory Committee will guarantee tight alignment of the Northwestern clinical oncology and tumor biology scientists with the physica scientists of the NU-PS-OC and will help expedite the dissemination of research breakthroughs throughout the cancer community. The participation of Thomas V. O'Halloran, Director of the Chemistry of Life Processes Institute, as an investigator on a PS-OC Project (Project 3), and PS-OC Center Advisory Committee, guarantees a mutually beneficial relationship between the NU-PS-OC and the Chemistry of Life Processes Institute. The Program Manager, Sheila M. Judge PhD, has a broad background in scientific research, teaching, and administration which will enable her to translate scientific and programmatic directives into operational goals and to work effectively with faculty and University administration to achieve those goals. An Assistant Project Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of Center.
