We identified that glutamine is a nutrient source that feeds into the TCA Cycle in RCC patient-derived xenograft models. It’s an opportunity for other investigators to ask what other tumor types can engage in glutamine metabolism. It also opens up a lot of important avenues for us to systematically study glutamine’s contribution as a major nutrient...
This project brings a lot of bench work that has been done for decades to an in vivo model. I’m really excited because now we have a model to quickly test the efficacy of some of the clinical drugs and translate them to patients – bringing the findings from the benchside to the bedside.
For a long time, the field has evolved by studying cancer cells outside the body. We are now evaluating tumor metabolism in patient bodies by using mouse models – in vivo– so many findings are easily translated to a patient’s system. Once we can get a better understanding of the metabolic dependencies of kidney tumors on glutamine, we can identify ...
I’m excited to find a tumor type that uses glutamine in a way that was previously thought to be non-existent. It’s an opportunity to study all the aspects of glutamine metabolism in vivo. We’ve studied cancer metabolism for years now but sometimes failed to translate what we find in a tissue culture to an in vivo mouse model or a patient because ma...
The thought of really trying to understand what is happening drives me far. The support and guidance of my mentors, friends, family, and my wife help keep me passionate. When things unfurl, you really need the support of your loved ones and mentors to remind you that this is a hump in the road, everyone faces them, and once you cross it you will se...
I’m thankful for the support from the KCA and my mentor, and I also want to thank the patient community because they’re really important. I also want to point out that we use a lot of animal models to conduct studies and we feel connected to them. We’re fortunate to have them and I thank my animals all the time for their contribution to the betterm...
