\u2022 iTHRIV Awards Pilot Funding, Supports Statewide Research Collaborations<\/p>\n

\n

The Integrated Translational Health Research Institute of Virginia has awarded funding to four multi-institutional research projects through the Pilot Translational and Clinical Studies Program. By providing seed grant funding to support early phase research projects, the program is intended to accelerate joint discovery and the application of translational medical research.<\/p>\n

Three of the projects are co-led by UVA School of Medicine faculty, including:
\n\u2022 Clint Miller, PhD, Assistant Professor of Public Health Sciences
\n\u2022 Sean Moore, MD, MS Associate Professor of Pediatrics
\n\u2022 Craig Meyer, PhD, Professor of Biomedical Engineering<\/p>\n

\u2022 UVA Symposium Highlights Discoveries in Children’s Health<\/p>\n

University of Virginia Children’s Hospital recently held an annual symposium to highlight discoveries made by UVA researchers over the past year and to give researchers a chance to discuss new opportunities for important research in the coming year.<\/p>\n

Jim Nataro, MD, PhD, MBA, Chair of UVA Pediatrics, stated, “[The symposium] provides an opportunity for investigators to come together, see each others’ work, share ideas, and it’s that sharing of the ideas that really fertilizes high-quality research.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Unhealthy Gut Promotes Spread of Breast Cancer, Study Finds<\/p>\n

An unhealthy, inflamed gut causes breast cancer to become much more invasive and spread more quickly to other parts of the body, new research from the UVA Cancer Center suggests.<\/p>\n

Melanie Rutkowski, PhD, of UVA\u2019s Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Cancer Biology, found that disrupting the microbiome of mice caused hormone receptor-positive breast cancer to become more aggressive. Altering the microbiome, the collection of microorganisms that live in the gut and elsewhere, had dramatic effects in the body, priming the cancer to spread.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we disrupted the microbiome\u2019s equilibrium in mice by chronically treating them antibiotics, it resulted in inflammation systemically and within the mammary tissue,\u201d she said. \u201cIn this inflamed environment, tumor cells were much more able to disseminate from the tissue into the blood and to the lungs, which is a major site for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer to metastasize.\u201d<\/p>\n
