NIH Research Project Grant (R01) Purow (PI) 9/01/08-7/31/13 Investigation of alpha-secretase inhibitors as Notch inhibitors and anti-glioma agents Specific Aims: To demonstrate that alpha-secretase inhibitors are a novel class of Notch inhibitors and have activity against established, primary, and stem cell glioma lines in vitro and in vivo NIH Research Project Grant (R01) Purow (PI) 2/01/09-12/31/13 Investigation of Notch-inhibiting microRNAs in glioma Specific Aims: To investigate two microRNAs we have found to inhibit the Notch pathway and assess their activity in vitro and in vivo against glioma cells, including glioma tumor stem cells
UVA Cancer Center Translational Partnerships Initiative Purow (co-PI) 10/12-10/13 A Novel Nano-Theranostic for Diagnosing and Treating Glioblastoma Specific Aims: To investigate DNA-based theranostic nanoparticles for the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors in xenografts
Howard Hughes Medical Institute Physician-Scientist Early Career Award Purow (PI) 8/01/08-07/31/13 Investigation of microRNA-7 inhibition of key cancer pathways and as a potential therapy for glioma Specific Aims: To test the hypothesis that microRNA-7 is a physiologic inhibitor of key cancer pathways in human gliomas, to identify determinants of glioma cell sensitivity to microRNA-7, and to determine whether it can be delivered effectively in vivo as a glioma therapy
