Mark Rubin, MD part of "Dream Team" in Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
"Understanding the mutational landscape of individual tumors will allow us to better manage metastatic prostate cancers like castration-resistant prostate cancer," explains Dr. Mark A. Rubin, the project's principal investigator at Weill Cornell Medical College. The overarching goal of the grant is to eventually "position CRPC as a manageable and treatable disease with personalized medicine."

Whole Genome Sequencing for Prostate Cancer
More DNA Rearrangements Found than Previously Expected. The first study to compare the genomic sequences of multiple prostate tumors has found recurring rearrangements of DNA that may contribute to the development of the disease. Using tumor samples from seven WCMC patients, Dr. Mark A. Rubin (WCMC) and Dr. Levi Garraway of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute confirmed the existence of previously identified genetic changes associated with prostate cancer and discovered other alterations that could lead to new treatments for the disease. The Team from WCMC, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the Broad Institute of M.I.T. and Harvard reported the findings February 10 in Nature.

Experimental Pathology
The Research Faculty within the Department are nationally recognized and highly funded investigators. The research ranges from clinical, translational to basic research, with an emphasis on hematologic malignancies, prostate cancer genomics, and vascular biology.
Translational Research
The Translational Research Program (TRP) was developed to help facilitate WCMC faculty with their research goals. In addition to standard pathology support with histology and immunohistochemistry, the TRP brings cutting-edge technology to members of the WCMC research community. The TRP hopes to play an important role by positively impacting patient care. [more]
