Biomedical technology research center dedicated to the development of novel imaging methods for the basic scientist and the application of the methods to important biomedical questions. The CIVM has played a major role in the development of magnetic resonance microscopy with specialized MR imaging systems capable of imaging at more than 500,000x higher resolution than is common in the clinical domain. The CIVM was the first to demonstrate MR images using hyperpolarized 3He which has been moved from mouse to man with recent clinical trials performed at Duke in collaboration with GE. More recently the CIVM has developed the molecular imaging workbench---a system dedicated to multimodality cardiopulmonary imaging in the rodent. Their collaborators are employing these unique imaging systems in an extraordinary range of mouse and rat models of neurologic disease, cardiopulmonary disease and cancer to illuminate the underlying biology and explore new therapies.

My laboratory has created a family of natural product-inspired anticancer agents. We have evaluated our compounds at the Yale Center for Chemical Genomics, and they are exhibiting IC50 values in the low nM range against K562, HeLa, LnCAP, and HCT-116 lines. Their mechanism of action is unknown, although the natural products have been shown to cleave DNA. An evaluation of the natural products at the NCI has shown that they have a toxicity profile that is distinct from other known DNA damaging agents. We can readily access gram-quantities of these agents for further studies. We are looking for researchers who might find these compounds useful in medicinal applications, for example, for treatment of a specific cancer. We are capable of synthesizing new analogs, such as those incorporating a specific recognition or targeting element, and would be excited to pursue this avenue of research.

HTAN is National Cancer Institute funded Cancer Moonshot initiative to construct 3-dimensional atlases of dynamic cellular, morphological, and molecular features of human cancers as they evolve from precancerous lesions to advanced disease.Provides three dimensional atlases of cancer transitions for diverse set of tumor types. Efforts to map healthy organs and previous large-scale cancer genomics approaches focused on bulk sequencing at single point in time. Data portal for Human Tumor Atlas Network. Data available on HTAN Portal is open access. Certain data types with potential for re-identification are available in restricted access through dbGAP.

Cancer research platform that aggregates clinical, genomic and functional data from various types of patient derived cancer models, xenographs, organoids and cell lines. Open catalog of harmonised patient-derived cancer models. Standardises, harmonises and integrates clinical metadata, molecular and treatment-based data from academic and commercial providers worldwide. Data is FAIR and underpins generation and testing of new hypotheses in cancer mechanisms and personalised medicine development. PDCM Finder have expanded to organoids and cell lines and is now called CancerModels.Org. PDCM Finder was launched in April 2022 as successor of PDX Finder portal, which focused solely on patient-derived xenograft models.

Division of NCI that takes prospective cancer detection and treatment leads, facilitates their paths to clinical application, and expedites the initial and subsequent large-scale testing of new agents, biomarkers, imaging tests, and other therapeutic interventions (radiation, surgery, immunotherapy) in patients. DCTD, like all of NCI, supports many programs that could not be done without government funding - investigators supported by the division engage in scientifically sound, high-risk research that may yield great benefits for patients with cancer, but are too difficult or risky for industry or academia to pursue. This includes a particular emphasis on the development of distinct molecular signatures for cancer, refined molecular assays, and state-of-the-art imaging techniques that will guide oncologic therapy in the future. The division has eight major programs that work together to bring unique molecules, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic interventions from the laboratory bench to the patient bedside: * Cancer Diagnosis Program * Cancer Imaging Program * Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program * Developmental Therapeutics Program * Radiation Research Program * Translational Research Program * Biometrics Research Branch * Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine

As a basis for the experimental cluster projects, and for further future projects a collection of various biological specimens of cancer patients shall be established. All participating Ludwig Boltzmann Institutes (LBIs) are supplying biological specimens from tumor patients and clinical documentation. At the LBI for Gynecology and Gynecologic Oncology a tumor bank for biological specimens from gynecologic cancer patients already exists. All the procedures for sample processing and storage are well established. Existing equipment for storing tissue specimens at -196 degrees C can be used. Materials from the following malignant diseases are collected: Breast cancer Colorectal cancer Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) (Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and Carcinoid tumors) Types of biological materials: Tissue (fresh frozen) Bone marrow Blood (serum/plasma/cell fractions) Pleural effusions Ascitic fluids Sputum Bronchial lavage Stool The biological specimens are initially processed at the respective LBIs or at their connected lab facilities. Enrichment of blood samples for disseminated tumor cells is done at the LBI for Gynecology and Gynecologic oncology. Long time storage of all materials is done at appropriate temperatures at the same institution. This LBI also coordinates the logistics. All relevant sample-specific and clinical data are surveyed at the respective LBIs and stored centralized in an on-line data bank in anonymized form, respecting all relevant regulations on data protection and security.

Procure and distribute human tissue and other biological samples in support of basic, translational, and clinical cancer research at the University of Minnesota. The TPF is a centralized resource with standardized patient consent, sample collection, processing, storage, quality control, distribution, and electronic record maintenance. Since the 1996 inception of the TPF, over 61,000 tissue samples including well-preserved samples of malignant and benign tumors, organ-matched normal tissue, and other types of diseased tissues, have been collected from surgical specimens obtained at the University of Minnesota Medical Center-Fairview (UMMC-F) University Campus. Surgical pathologists are intellectually engaged in TPF functions, providing researchers with specimen-oriented medical consultation to facilitate research productivity. Prior to surgery, TPF personnel identify and consent patients for procurement of tissue, blood, urine, saliva, and ascites fluid. Within the integrated working environment of the surgical pathology laboratory, freshly obtained tissues not needed for diagnosis are selected and provided by pathologists to TPF personnel. Tissue samples are then assigned an independent code and processed. TPF staff can also work with researchers to individualize the procurement of tissues to fit specific research needs.
