UT-Austin and NeuroTexas Institute Researchers awarded 1.2 million dollar CPRIT grant

11/9/2011 9:14:31 AM

Dr. Vishwanath Iyer, co-Director of the Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology at The University of Texas at Austin, and Dr. Matthew Cowperthwaite, Director of Research at NeuroTexas Institute at St. David’s HealthCare, have received a $1.2 million grant from the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). The grant will support their research study “Defining and Subverting Allele-Specific Regulatory Networks in Cancer”, which seeks to better define the regulation of gene expression pathways in a type of brain tumor called glioblastoma multiforme. Their research may enable more precise molecular classification of GBM tumors and open the door to precisely targeted therapies for individuals with this disease.

    Thanks, y'all! Day by day. That's how we all get tugrhoh everything. :)@Christy, I've tried telling Austin that David's training, or in the field. And it doesn't click. He doesn't know what those words mean. Sometimes we use the word "school" but Austin thinks "school" is when he goes to daycare for a few hours, so that doesn't help either. "Work" is the only word that makes sense to Austin right now. When David is here, and he goes to "work" every day, we tell Austin that Daddy "will be home for lunch, dinner, etc. this time." He seems to understand that. When he's in the field, we explain that "Daddy won't be home for lunch, dinner for a very long time." I'm hoping that by the time deployment rolls around, Austin will have some grasp on the word "Deployed." These field rotations that last for weeks at a time are one thing, but a year long deployment, will be hard to explain how long "work" will last.
