Fighting COVID-19 With a Cancer Drug
|
In UC San Diego Today, Judith A. Varner PhD discusses how a molecule discovered twelve years ago to help cancer cells survive by shuttling damaging inflammatory cells into tumor tissue does the same thing in lung tissue infected with COVID-19 — the molecule can be suppressed with a repurposed cancer drug.

The Scientific Translational and Experimental Postbaccalaureate in Oncology Program for Underrepresented Populations (STEPpOnUP)
|
The STEPpOnUP strives to break down sociocultural barriers in healthcare by offering a unique opportunity to individuals from underserved backgrounds wishing to pursue doctoral level education in science, healthcare, and/or cancer (e.g., PhD, MD, etc.). Fellows will spend half of their time exploring the intricacies of cancer research in our Moores Cancer Center (MCC) laboratories, paired with one of our faculty members. The other half of their time, fellows will experience taking laboratory research from bench to bedside, working with our diverse patients through our Clinical Trials Office (CTO).

FEATURED FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES |
NIH HEAL Initiative PainCare Clinician Training Program (PCTP): Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Awards (K08 - Clinical Trials Required or Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required)
|
The purpose of this NIH HEAL Initiative PainCare Clinician Training Program (PCTP): Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Awards (K08) (Clinical Trials Required, PAR-24-217, or Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required, PAR-24-218) is to support the career development of individuals with clinical doctoral degrees to create a group of new and well-trained, independent investigators. This supervised career development program will provide independent NIH research support during the early-career phase to help recipients establish independent research programs in areas supported by the NIH HEAL Initiative’s Clinical Research in Pain Management program.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is designed specifically for applicants proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary study to an existing trial, as part of their research and career development.
Applicants not planning an independent clinical trial or basic experimental study with humans, or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial or basic experimental study with humans led by another investigator, must apply to the 'Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed' companion NOFO (PAR-24-219).
