We, at the GW Technology Commercialization Office, are delighted to announce a significant licensing agreement with CancerTools.org (CancerToolsOrg), a non-profit, cancer-focused, research tools biorepository focused on accelerating cancer research discoveries globally. This partnership centers around our cutting-edge technology, the development of transgenic NelfbTg mouse by CRISPR-based gene editing, developed by the distinguished Dr. Rong Li. This research, highlighted in a recent Nature Communications publication, explores how T cell factor 1 (TCF1), in conjunction with other transcription factors like negative elongation factor (NELF), enhances antitumor immunity in CD8+ T cells. The applications of this intellectual property are vast, including enhancements in T cell function, anti-tumor immunity, and RNA polymerase II (Pol II) mediated transcription, promising to significantly advance the effectiveness of cancer treatments. We are thrilled to embark on this partnership with CancerTools.org, whose expertise and dedication are invaluable in our joint effort to push the boundaries of cancer research. Their commitment to facilitating cancer research through the secure deposit, storage, maintenance, and worldwide distribution of cancer research tools such as antibodies, cell lines, mouse models, and more makes them a pivotal partner. For a more in-depth understanding of our technology and its implications for antitumor immunity, we encourage you to read the publication in Nature Communications.

NSF/BSF collaborators, Professors Ehud Gazit of Tel Aviv University and Phanourios Tamamis of Texas A&M University, are leading a pioneering study that could transform cancer treatment. Their research focuses on the remarkable potential of peptide-based nanomaterials - tiny structures that could enhance how drugs are delivered to treat cancer. At the heart of their investigation lies Cyclo-Histidine-Histidine (Cyclo-HH), a peptide compound infused with zinc and nitrate ions. This unlikely trio forms the backbone of an innovative drug delivery system, capable of transporting a variety of cancer medications. Using advanced computer modeling and real-world experiments, Profs. Gazit, Tamamis and their binational team demonstrate the system's adeptness in precisely controlling the encapsulation and release of vital cancer treatments like Epirubicin, Doxorubicin, and Methotrexate. This research stands out not just for its scientific rigor, but for its tangible potential to transform cancer therapy. By heightening drug efficacy while minimizing side effects, these findings could mark a turning point in how we treat cancer. As Profs. Gazit and Tamamis continue to unravel the complexities of peptide-based nanomaterials, the promise of personalized cancer treatments comes into clearer focus. In the ongoing battle against one of humanity's most formidable adversaries, their collaboration offers a beacon of hope, setting a new standard for precision medicine in oncology. 🔗 See the study here: https://lnkd.in/eZK64BwE 👉 Read more about Profs.

🔬Nanoparticle technology to treat cancer Georgetown researchers have developed cancer therapy that harnesses the power of biodegradable nanoparticles engineered to target specific cell surface receptors, particularly in pancreatic cancer. 🎯 These nanoparticles serve as vehicles for delivering siRNA, effectively down-regulating driver genes like mutant Kras and impeding metastases. But that's not all – these nanoparticles possess a remarkable ability to penetrate pancreatic cancer's dense fibrosis, even reducing it in the process. 💡 What sets this technology apart is its precision. By homing in on specific targets, it promises a potential leap forward in treatment efficacy while mitigating the often debilitating side effects associated with traditional therapies. 🚀 But the benefits extend beyond pancreatic cancer. With a scope that reaches cancers expressing the CCK-B receptor, this innovation opens new vistas in oncology, aligning seamlessly with the evolving landscape of precision medicine. 🌐 🔒 Intellectual Property: Secured with multiple patents, ensuring exclusivity and protecting innovation.

The Multiomics2Targets, a new bioinformatics workflow developed by researchers from the Ma’ayan Lab, identifies drug targets for cohorts of cancer patients profiled with multiomics assays. After uploading transcriptomics, proteomics, and phosphoproteomics data matrices collected from the same cohort of cancer patients, the platform produces a report with ranked targets for individuals. The tool makes it easier for researchers to analyze complex data and identify promising immunotherapy drug targets, potentially leading to more personalized cancer treatments.
