Neuware - Cancer glycobiology is a blazing hot area of cancer research with aberrant post-translational glycosylations on lipids and proteins considered critical for cancer development and metastasis. The NIH/NCI Alliance of Glycobiologists for Cancer Research is a consortium of (10) tumor glycobiology laboratories funded to investigate how cancer-associated glycans (CAG) impact the development and metastasis of cancer. The hope of this momentous effort is to discover CAGs for use as novel biomarkers to detect early-stage cancer or its aggressive behavior or, alternatively, as novel molecular targets with the promise of a curative approach to cancer therapy. The mission of the 'Alliance' is to study structure and function of CAGs in cancer development and to provide clinically useful biomarkers for detecting cancer early or the potential of metastasis. This charge has stimulated extensive collaborations across US and International institutions to accelerate discovery of glycan-based biomarkers to the forefront of NCI's efforts to diagnose early-stage cancer and provide curative anti-cancer therapies. The main goals of these research efforts are: 1. To identify and study how cancer-associated glycans functionally impact cancer growth and metastasis2. To identify cancer-associated glycans that can serve as biomarkers for the detection or progression of cancer3. To develop cancer-associated glycans as novel therapeutic targets for the treatment and cure of cancer This volume consists of (9) chapters, one from each funded laboratory, that reviews new methods and mechanisms highlighting glycoconjugates and their roles as cancer biomarkers and/or anti-cancer therapeutic targets.…

About the Author
Dr. Dimitroff spent his initial years as an independent PI at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH)/Harvard Medical School (HMS) transitioning from Instructor to Associate Professor of Dermatology in the Department of Dermatology. He was a Faculty Member in the Harvard Immunology Ph.D. Program and was the Associate Director for Laboratory Research in BWH Dermatology. In 2019, he then joined the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine (HWCOM) at Florida International University (FIU) as the Executive Associate Dean for Research and Professor (with Tenure) of Translational Medicine. He now has concentrated his administrative duties focusing as the Founding Director of the Translational Glycobiology Institute at FIU (TGIF), wherein he oversees translational glycoscience research. The TGIF is a one-of-kind institute with translational glycoscience investigators seeking cures for diseases and providing research opportunities for trainees at all academic levels with a special focus on underrepresented minorities and women in science.
Dr. Dimitroff’s current translational glycobiology research is subdivided into (2) Programs: a Solid Cancer Research Program and an Immune Research Program. In the Solid Cancer Research Program, his research explores the glycome of metastatic melanomas and ascertains how the glycome drives melanoma metastasis and whether these glycobiological features can be used as biomarkers to predict melanoma metastasis. In the Immune Research Program, his research investigates how human B cell glycans control B cell fate and function. These investigations have unveiled new molecular insights on the regulation of a humoral immune response and vaccinations, and the treatment of B cell malignancies.
Dr. Karen Abbott has been a leader in the field of glycoproteomics and biomarker discovery for over 14 years. Dr. Abbott received her PhD in Biochemistry at The University of Georgia in 2004. She was awarded an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2005 where she developed lectin capture methods for the analysis of glycoproteins from human tissues and plasma using mass spectrometry methods. She has been funded for ovarian cancer research by since 2010. She is currently funded by an Alliance of Glycobiologists NCI grant to understand how complex carbohydrates contribute to the development and progression of ovarian cancer. She is also currently funded by the NCI Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies grant that supports the development of novel and transformative technologies to develop new therapeutics and diagnostics for cancer. Dr. Abbott joined the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine (HWCOM) at Florida International University in 2020 as Associate Director for the Translational Glycobiology Institute. Her research is currently focused in three main areas: translational therapeutic development for ovarian cancer, studies on the role of Notch glycosylation in ovarian cancer progression, and technology development for the study of glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored proteins.
