Core Support for Cancer Center

这是阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦癌症中心在1972年获得第一个NCI指定的第35年续签CCSG资金的申请。有7个已建立的项目。这些包括：免疫肿瘤学（Scharff），肿瘤微环境和转移（Condeelis），细胞生长和分化控制（Skoultchi），分子膜生物学（Stanley），实验治疗学（Horwitz），癌症流行病学（Rohan）和结肠癌生物学（augenlight）。美国癌症预防中心项目对癌症的关注得到加强，这反映在美国癌症预防中心的拨款从2000年的74笔增加到2006年的95笔，美国癌症预防中心对美国癌症预防中心成员的直接支持目前达到1940万美元。有两项新的NCI资助的项目资助：一项NCI计划项目资助关于运动和侵袭，一项U54中心资助关于肠道癌症的营养-遗传相互作用。已经招募了43名新的AECC成员，其中30名是爱因斯坦的新成员。临床肿瘤学领导职位的重大招聘包括医学肿瘤学（Perez-Soler），儿科血液学/肿瘤学（Gorlick）和放射肿瘤学（Kalnicki）的新主席。目前AECC有121个成员。外部科学咨询委员会每年召开一次会议，由11名成员组成。

This is an application for renewed CCSG funding for year 35 of the Albert Einstein Cancer Center which received its first NCI designation in 1972. There are seven established programs. These include: Immunooncology (Scharff), Tumor Microenvironment and Metastasis (Condeelis), Cell Growth and Differentiation control (Skoultchi), Molecular Membrane Biology (Stanley), Experimental Therapeutics (Horwitz), Cancer Epidemiology (Rohan) and the Biology of Colon Cancer (Augenlicht). The enhanced cancer focus of AECC programs is reflected in an increase in NCI grants from 74 in 2000 to 95 in 2006 with NCI support to AECC members currently at $19.4M (direct). There are two new NCI-funded programmatic grants: an NCI program project grant on Motility and Invasion and a U54 Center grant on Nutritional-Genetic Interactions in Intestinal Cancer. There has been recruitment of 43 new AECC members of whom 30 are new to Einstein. There have been major recruitments to clinical oncology leadership positions including new chairs of Medical Oncology (Perez-Soler), Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (Gorlick) and Radiation Oncology (Kalnicki). There are now 121 AECC members. The External Scientific Advisory Committee has convened yearly and consists of eleven members. There are nine established shared resources including Proteomics, Structural Biology (X-ray, Synchrotron, NMR), FACS, Analytical Imaging, Histopathology, Transgenic, Animal Barrier, Gene Targeting, and Genomics (DNA sequencing + microarray services). A Biostatistics Shared Resource was funded through a supplement to the CCSG since the last review and is included in this application. New shared resources for which funding is requested include Bioinformatics, Genome Imaging (FISH/SKY), and Epidemiology Informatics. A new research facility, the Michael F. Price Center for Translational and Genetic Medicine will open December 2007 and will provide 20,000 ft2 for the Animal Barrier, Transgenic, Histopathology, and Gene Targeting Shared Resources. A substantial number of new AECC recruits will be housed in this facility. Beyond this, there are plans to expand population sciences through continued recruitment to the Cancer Epidemiology program and recruitment of behavioral/prevention scientists.
