Samuel Volchenboum M.D., Ph.D., M.S.

Researcher Photo

Funded: 07-01-2009 through 06-30-2014
Funding Type: St. Baldrick's Scholar
Institution Location: Chicago, IL
Institution: The University of Chicago affiliated with Comer Children's Hospital

Based on progress to date, Dr. Volchenboum was awarded a new grant in 2012 to fund an additional two years of this Scholar award. Neuroblastoma strikes in many forms, some requiring little or no therapy, others deadly despite very aggressive treatment. Current tests that differentiate among these types can take weeks. Dr. Volchenboum is developing software to make real-time diagnosis possible, allowing therapy to be better tailored to the specific child. Once validated, these new technologies can be extended to other pediatric cancers.

Jason Yustein M.D., Ph.D.

Funded: 07-01-2009 through 06-30-2014
Funding Type: St. Baldrick's Scholar
Institution Location: Houston, TX

Based on progress to date, Dr. Yustein was awarded a new grant in 2012 to fund an additional two years of this Scholar award. Many human malignancies have abnormal expression or activity of a protein called c-Myc, leading to genetic changes critical to tumor survival and growth. Dr. Yustein's research is on the role c-Myc plays in Ewings sarcomas, osteosarcomas and rhabdomyosarcomas.

Cancer is a disease caused by mistakes in the DNA of tumor cells. Identifying all these mistakes in a single type of cancer has been slow, but understanding them will revolutionize the way cancer is diagnosed and treated. This project makes use of exciting new developments in "sequencing technology" to identify all the DNA mistakes in neuroblastoma. This is the very first such effort ever undertaken for a pediatric cancer, and leverages the support and expertise of investigators at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the Children's Oncology Group and Johns Hopkins University.

Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare but biologically important lung cancer of young children. Recently identified inherited genetic mutations predispose children to developing PPB, leukemia and other childhood tumors arising in the muscle, brain, ovary and kidneys. To understand how these tumors form and progress, this research uses models based upon genetic discoveries in families with hereditary PPB, by identifying the cellular events responsible for PPB initiation and progression. This is an essential step toward developing ways to detect, treat and improve outcomes for children with PPB and the related tumors associated with this inherited cancer predisposition syndrome.
