Machine learning identifies personalized brain networks in children – Penn: Office of University Communications

Saturday, February 29th, 2020

Machine learning is helping Penn Medicine researchers identify the size and shape of brain networks in individual children, which may be useful for understanding psychiatric disorders. In a new study publishedin the journalNeuron,a multidisciplinary team showed how brain networks unique to each child can predict cognition. The study, which used machine learning techniques to analyze the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans of nearly 700 children, adolescents, and young adults, is the first to show that functional neuroanatomy can vary greatly among kids, and is refined during development.

The human brain has a pattern of folds and ridges on its surface that provide physical landmarks for finding brain areas. The functional networks that govern cognition have long been studied in humans by liningup activation patternsthe software of the brainto the hardware of these physical landmarks. However, this process assumes that the functions of the brain are located on the same landmarks in each person. This works well for many simple brain systems. However, multiple recent studies in adults have shown this is not the case for more complex brain systems responsible for executive functiona set of mental processes which includes self-control and attention. In these systems, the functional networks do not always line up with the brains physical landmarks of folds and ridges. Instead, each adult has their own specific layout. Until now, it was unknown how such person-specific networks might change as kids grow up, or relate to executive function.

The exciting part of this work is that we are now able to identify the spatial layout of these functional networks in individual kids, rather than looking at everyone using the same one size fits all approach, says senior authorTheodore D. Satterthwaite, an assistant professor of psychiatry in the Perelman School of Medicine. Like adults, we found that functional neuroanatomy varies quite a lot among different kidseach child has a unique pattern. Also like adults, the networks that vary the most between kids are the same executive networks responsible for regulating the sorts of behaviors that can often land adolescents in hot water, like risk taking and impulsivity.

Report: Iovance Exploring Potential Sale of the Company – BioSpace

Saturday, February 29th, 2020

Shares of Iovance Biotherapeutics shot up Tuesday on rumors the company could be up for sale. The news comes a day after the company said it intends to speak with regulatory agencies later this year about its programs in melanoma and cervical cancer.

First reported by Bloomberg, Iovance is reportedly working with a financial adviser about a potential sale following conversations about a potential takeover from a larger company. The information was provided by unidentified sources who are familiar with the matter, Bloomberg said. The news sent shares of Iovance up more than 30% in Tuesdays trading. Part of that boost was due to the companys fourth-quarter progress in its clinical pipeline. In anticipation of potential approval and commercialization of its lead candidates, Iovance said it was building its internal manufacturing capability, as well as expanding its commercial team and infrastructure.

While nothing has been formally stated, Benjamin Burnett, an analyst with Stifel Financial Inc. said in a note that acquiring Iovance would make sense for some companies, including Takeda Pharmaceutical and Gilead Sciences, Bloomberg reported. This morning, Takeda announced its intention to acquire celiac disease-focused PvP Biologics for $330 million to complement its gastrointestinal pipeline. Burnett said Iovance is one of the few cell therapy companies in the coverage of Stifel Financial that has been de-risked to a large degree by a proof-of-concept study. Because of that, Burnett said they can see how this might be one of the more interesting cell therapy take-out candidates.

Despite the potential for an acquisition, Iovance could opt to remain independent, the unidentified sources told Bloomberg. A representative for Iovance declined to comment, Bloomberg added.

San Carlos, Calif.-based Iovance specializes in cell therapy focused on treating solid tumors with tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapies. In a previous interview with BioSpace, Iovance Chief Executive Officer Maria Fardis explained that TIL technology is a boosting of the bodys natural immunity. The TIL is removed from a cancerous tumor, amplified in number through cell culture to attack the disease, then are reinserted into the tumor to do the work. Because the amplified TILs can attack the whole tumor, including any potential mutations, Fardis described it as the most exquisite kind of personalized medicine for a patient.

Iovances investigational candidates include lifileucel, which is being investigated as a potential treatment for melanoma and LN-145, a potential treatment for patients with recurrent, metastatic or persistent cervical carcinoma. Lifileucel has received both fast-track and regenerative medicine advanced therapy from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in melanoma, a common type of skin cancer, accounting for approximately 96,000 patients diagnosed annually and 7,200 deaths each year in the United States, Fardis said in a call with analysts Tuesday, according to transcripts.

In its most recent announcement regarding lifileucel in melanoma, the company reported an overall response rate (ORR) of 36.4% in 66 patients who were heavily pretreated.

The company is enrolling patients in a second pivotal study of LN-145 in patients with metastatic cervical cancer. During 2019, LN-145 received breakthrough therapy designation or BTD, as well as fast-track designation from the FDA. These designations were supported by compelling data demonstrating a 44% ORR from 27 patients in the ongoing study, Fardis said.

Tech optimization: Keeping infrastructure tech rock solid – Healthcare IT News

Saturday, February 29th, 2020

The various technologies that make up IT infrastructure are the foundation for all the other forms of health IT that make hospitals and health systems operate effectively. As such, infrastructure technologies are among the most important in the healthcare information technology arena, and they must be operating optimally.

Here, three infrastructure technology experts from Cisco Systems, Dell Technologies and VMware offer best practices for optimizing infrastructure so that it is working best for individual healthcare provider organizations. They target their advice at healthcare CIOs and other health IT leaders who are looking to make sure their infrastructure is rock solid and humming along smoothly.

To fully optimize infrastructure, IT needs to plan for the entire business transformation journey to include reimagining their apps for the patient/clinician experience and then build the infrastructure for those experiences, said Kathryn Howe, Cisco healthcare director, Americas industry digital transformation.

Patients today need humanized experiences from healthcare providers, personalized interactions, easy access to information, and on-demand responses from clinicians, she explained. To keep up with the ever-changing patient needs, healthcare organizations are becoming more digitized, offering new apps and more. Adopting new technologies can create as many challenges as advantages if organizations focus only on optimizing IT infrastructure. IT needs a digital transformation framework to succeed.

Kathryn Howe, Cisco Systems

Integrating, securing and optimizing the IT infrastructure is the first step in the digital transformation framework, she said.

Its the enablement stage where healthcare providers optimize their IT infrastructures to digitize existing services, she noted. This step will streamline and enhance employee and customer experiences through primary offerings such as home care services, mobile engagement and location-based analytics. With the infrastructure in place, CIOs get to optimize their resources to deliver more value, such as implementing personalized engagement strategies, offering online support groups and virtual services.

The IT infrastructure is fully optimized when it is being used to power the organizations most sophisticated endeavors, she added, from new business models to disruptive digital experiences like AI-driven patient scheduling and predictive analytics.

On another front, typically, when a healthcare provider organization is looking to invest in an IT optimization project, it first considers its internal resources, specifically budget and the potential for staff disruption, said David Dimond, healthcare and life sciences chief innovation officer at Dell Technologies.

We can learn from some of the recent rocky implementations of electronic health records in which budgets exceeded expectations and significant delays were experienced in implementation and integration, he stated. According to one survey, 56% of respondentsdidnt believe that the challenges of adopting a new EHR system were equal to, or outweighed, the benefits of integration.

David Dimond, Dell Technologies

Examples like these have made healthcare organization boards circumspect in investing in digital health projects, Dimond contended.

This thinking is unfortunate, as some infrastructure optimizations can free up resources to invest in innovation, as is the case with multi-cloud deployment, he explained. Adopting, or optimizing, a multi-cloud infrastructure allows healthcare organizations to capture, process and access data significantly faster wherever it resides improving everything from patient care delivery to billing.

Just as every healthcare provider organization must have its own specific business model, each companys cloud strategy must match its specific clinical and business workload needs, he asserted.

Cloud strategies are ever-evolving, not simple one-off solutions, he said. Multi-cloud solutions have come a long way you adopt a hybrid cloud environment with an integrated cloud infrastructure compute, storage, networking and security that runs on premises and in public clouds. Organizations should expect consistent operations with infrastructure across private and public cloud, and the edge for a true hybrid cloud experience that is seamless to its end users.

For example, on-premises solutions may be optimal for certain workloads and ideal in terms of risk reduction and monitoring, while off-premises solutions offer better manageability, ease of procurement and cost, he said.

For this reason, every healthcare provider must decide their own workload priorities and optimize their cloud strategy to match the best location for data and applications, he said. A multi-cloud infrastructure provides a single pane of glass to identify and monitor the data across the healthcare ecosystem, simplifying intelligence at the point of care and collaboration among clinicians.

Christopher Logan, director of healthcare industry strategy at VMware, offers another best practice when optimizing infrastructure technology: operational automation.

Automation in healthcare, when coupled with emerging technologies like AI, does not get its fair amount of press or headlines, he said. When applying automation across/within the infrastructure, basic operational tasks and administration can result in a number of efficiencies like better patient experience, greater employee satisfaction, increased quality of services, improved project delivery and a significant reduction in cost.

Christopher Logan, VMware

Another best practice, he said, is workforce transformation.The workforce is constantly evolving, due to factors such as technological advancements and the demand for new skill sets.

Coupled with the fact that employees today have high expectations for their digital experiences, workforce transformation is critical in achieving broader digital transformation, he explained. It is imperative that all healthcare organizations find the right tools and technologies that provide employees with flexibility and secure access to ease IT management burdens and improve productivity.

This does not stop there, as providing a consistent user experience has the capability to transform both the patient and employee experience, which is critical for engagement and retention, he added.

When it comes to optimizing infrastructure, cybersecurity strategies need to permeate infrastructure as well as all levels of a healthcare provider organization, said Howe of Cisco.

Todays CIOs face more than the risk of costly data breaches, she said. Failing to meet standards like HIPAA can result in fines for up to $1.5 million per year. In order to protect patient data and meet compliance standards, CIOs need to enforce a strategy that permeates all layers of the organization, from technologies to the people.

At the network level, a fully integrated secure IT infrastructure will be key to enabling IT teams to maintain a pulse on all activities in real time and address potential risks before they occur, she advised.

An effective tactic is using micro-segmentation to limit the spread of attacks between devices and across the network by creating profiles, policies and permissions that are specific to those devices, reducing unauthorized access for all users, she said.

At the user level, it is vital to empower and train teams to keep data secure.

Implementing two-factor authentication platforms for patients, healthcare staff and third-party vendors should be a non-negotiable, and can help organizations stay compliant and safe by ensuring that only trusted users and devices can access certain sensitive applications or data, she cautioned. This is especially important as more healthcare organizations adopt remote access technologies and devices to deliver seamless connected experiences to patients and streamline workflows for clinicians.

Logan of VMware agrees with Howe that cybersecurity must be a big part of infrastructure optimization.

Sophistication and frequency of cyberattacks are increasingly placing a strain across all sectors, especially in healthcare, he noted. In order to navigate these complex and dynamic environments, healthcare organizations and their leaders must have a strong investment in digital technologies, and an even larger investment on cybersecurity strategies.

A proactive cybersecurity strategy and shift needs to continue happening across healthcare to protect patient data from security threats, ensuring the availability and integrity of critical healthcare workloads, he added.

Elsewhere, he said that hybrid and public cloud migration is an important part of infrastructure optimizxation.

Organizations across all industries are increasingly adopting hybrid and public cloud models, due to its offerings of scalability, agility and speed to market, he said. By making use of cloud solutions whether from Google, Amazon, Microsoft or another provider healthcare providers can simply scale the technical resources needed to run critical applications and drive cost savings.

At the same time, this is preparing those providers to adopt IT modernization to deliver dynamic on-demand services to meet the needs of their workforce and patients, he added.

The Internet of Things is a big part of healthcare IT infrastructure. An emerging focus for healthcare organizations is building out their IoT strategy.

IoT and edge solutions have been adopted by consumers, most notably, fitness trackers and smartwatches, said Dimond of Dell Technologies. A study by Statistafound that more than 56.7 million people wore wearables like smartwatches and Fitbits in 2019. This market will continue to grow and analysts predict the number of users will increase to 67 million people in 2022.

In an acute care setting, there are 10-15 connected devices for every U.S. hospital bed, which creates a significant amount of data, he noted. Overall, healthcare data grew 878%from 2016 to 2018, with much of it coming from sensors, wearables and mobile apps for preventative care and chronic disease management.

However, it is one thing to generate all this data, and quite another challenge to digest it all and generate patient insights. Healthcare providers are investing in distributed analytics to improve patient safety and monitor recovery, expand chronic disease management, enhance precision medicine through research, and manage pharmaceutical supply safety just to name a few applications, Dimond said.

Real-time analytics at the edge creates an opportunity to identify, refine and understand the data where it originates, for the fastest possible insights and action, he said. To support the distributed network of data-driven devices, healthcare organizations require a multi-faceted approach.

As healthcare provider organizations build their edge and IoT strategy, they need to evaluate their unique multi-cloud approach in parallel with specific application workloads, he advised.

Depending on classification, some data such as EHRs, laboratory information systems and clinical decision application data may be stored on-premises, he concluded. Other data may be stored in the cloud whether private, public or hybrid. It is important to consider how data can flow securely and efficiently from the edge to the data center and to multiple clouds.

Personalized Medicine Products Advanced by FDA in 2019 Address Root Causes of Rare Diseases, Offer Expanded Options for Cancer Patients, and Help…

Friday, February 21st, 2020

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --In a report released this morning, the Personalized Medicine Coalition (PMC) explains how 12 personalized treatments and seven diagnostics the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved or cleared in 2019 will improve patient care and make the health system more efficient by addressing root causes of rare diseases, expanding treatment options for cancer patients, and targeting therapies to responder populations. The approvals and clearance decisions expand the frontiers of the rapidly evolving field of personalized medicine for the benefit of patients and health systems.

Personalized Medicine at FDA: The Scope & Significance of Progress in 2019defines personalized medicine as a field "in which physicians use diagnostic tests to determine which medical treatments will work best for each patient or use medical interventions to alter molecular mechanisms, often genetic, that cause disease or influence a patient's response to certain treatments." The report classifies 11 new therapeutic molecular entities and one gene therapy as personalized treatments. Five of those treatments are the first to address root causes of devastating rare diseases. Four others provide new options for cancer patients, and two include FDA labeling that will help patients avoid debilitating and costly adverse side effects. The report also explains how seven newly cleared or approved diagnostics will help make the health care system more efficient by targeting treatments to only those patients who will benefit from them, sparing expenses and side effects for those who will not.

"Personalized Medicine at FDA: The Scope & Significance of Progress in 2019 reminds us that personalized medicine offers new hope to patients with devastating diseases as well as opportunities to avoid prescribing therapies that will be unsafe or ineffective for certain populations of patients," said Edward Abrahams, President, PMC.

In classifying 11 of the 44 (25 percent) new therapeutic molecular entities FDA approved last year as personalized medicines, this year's report marks the sixth straight year that personalized medicines have accounted for more than 20 percent of the agency's new drug approvals. These approvals have increased sharply since 2005, when personalized medicines accounted for just 5 percent of newly approved therapies.

About the Personalized Medicine Coalition:The Personalized Medicine Coalition (PMC), representing innovators, scientists, patients, providers and payers, promotes the understanding and adoption of personalized medicine concepts, services and products to benefit patients and the health system.

US Researchers Provide Holistic Perspective on Extrusion-Based 3D Printing of Personalized Medicine – 3DPrint.com

Friday, February 21st, 2020

US researchers continue ongoing research into 3D printed pharmaceuticals, presenting their unique findings in Polymers for Extrusion-Based 3D Printing of Pharmaceuticals: A Holistic Materials-Process Perspective.

While many have predicted that the pharmaceutical industry was perched on the edge of a massive transformation due to the advantages offered by 3D printing, there are still many ongoing studies regarding suitable printers, materials, and critical issues such as the impacts of DIY drugs and more formalized manufacturing. In this study, the researchers examine both extrusion-based FDM 3D printing and pressure-assisted micro-syringe 3D printing as they compare them to more traditional processes, along with techniques, challenges, and consider the general direction of the industry overall.

Within the pharmaceutical industry today, 3D printing has made impacts in digital fabrication of drugs, implants, drug delivery systems, and more; however, the researchers point out the importance of such processes especially in creating personalized medications. Citing the success, and FDA approval, of epilepsy drug SPRITAM, the authors stress advantages in the trend toward patient-specific treatmentand specifically, medicine.

Current pharmaceutical manufacturing practices are not costeffective for personalized medicine, state the researchers. 3D printing pharmaceuticals are more suitable than current manufacturing practices for tailored solid dosages.

Although the first waves of pharmaceutical 3D printing began with inkjet printing, strides since then have been not only impressive, but fascinating to much of the public, including:

FDM and PAM printing processes have been most attractive to users due to accessibility and affordability, the potential for fabricating and tuning complex geometries, and more.

(a) The proportion of research articles published on different types of 3D printing processes in the last five years (20152019, total 202 articles); (b) The number of published scientific articles (research and review) in the period from 2015 to 2019 which reported the use of extrusionbased (fused deposition modeling (FDM) or pressureassisted microsyringe (PAM)) 3D printing (source: Scopus database and PubMed).

Choosing the right materials is critical to the success of 3D printing medications also, along with the capability for attaining FDA approval. As a highly suitable material, polymers may be used to print the following in relation to tablets and caplets:

Polymers multifaceted utilization in solid dosage drug delivery systems solidifies its importance in pharmaceutical 3D printing applications, state the researchers.

2dimensional (2D) schematic of the extrusionbased 3D printing process: (a) fuseddeposition modeling (FDM), (b) pressureassisted microsyringe (PAM).

And while they have reviewed studies from multiple other scientists, the authors here point out that while such guides are needed, no detailed discussion on how polymers should be selectedalong with other detailsexists.

Comparison of FDM and PAM 3D printing technologies

Processing is very similar via FDM or PAM, with the extra benefit of being more environmentally friendly, offering the ability for remote control of printing, and small batch, on-demand printing.

Comparison of different processing steps required for traditional direct compression (DC) tablet manufacturing vs. advanced manufacturing, 3D printing (FDM or PAM).

Typical polymers that can be used for 3D printing in pharmaceuticals include:

Summary of polymers based on (a) water solubility and drug release type, (b) their selection for either FDM or PAM 3D printing method.

Obviously, the pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated, with good reason, and the production of medications can be complex due to stringent requirements in production for the safety of the patient. In terms of 3D printing, however, a list of challenges still present themselves such as lack of predictability and consistency in quality of product due to issues like shrinkage or warping, problems with mechanical stability and other properties, and more.

Though a large-scale production of pharmaceuticals using 3D printing might be a long way from now, personalized medicine is possible inhouse for immediate use, conclude the researchers. Future work to enable drug product manufacture using FDM and PAM 3D printing technologies should include the suitability and characterization of polymers and other excipients amenable to processing.

Polymer materials and their properties, specifically their rheology should be investigated to allow a wider formulation and 3D printing design space. A better understanding of the rheological properties of APIpolymer mixtures and their measurement is necessary for the successful 3D printing of pharmaceuticals.

High-throughput Technologies in Drug Discovery – Technology Networks

Friday, February 21st, 2020

Bringing new medicines to patients struggling with serious illness is the driving force behind drug discovery and development. Originating as small molecules, drugs have shifted to large molecule therapies and will continue to shift as precision medicine is adopted. In spite of these different types of drugs, the development time to create them has not changed dramatically. It still takes 10 to 15 years to bring a drug to market. For this reason, there is tremendous interest when it comes to finding ways to develop drugs with higher throughput methods. This article highlights advances in three technology areas that show great promise to speed the drug discovery and development process.Automation and roboticsThe need for automation and robotics is not a new topic in drug discovery but an area where great progress has been and continues to be made. Automation is essential to implementing high-throughput strategies. What started out as a solution to achieve higher throughput has extra benefits. An automated process provides better data quality due to process consistency. Human error is minimized, and the presence of an audit trail allows traceability if questions arise. Automation also provides walk away freedom for the scientist to pursue other tasks.

To witness an automated set up, one may find that each automation step may not be fast in and of itself. But consider the shift away from an 8-hour employee workday to one of continuous 24-hour operation. Screening projects are now reduced by at least a factor of 3, thus yielding higher throughput.

Automation can be categorized into three general modes defined as (1) batch, (2) semi-automated, and (3) integrated. The three modes range from limited to extensive on key automation criteria which include things like flexibility, walk away capabilities, number and complexity of tasks. Batch mode, for example still requires a scientist to load stacks of plates that then are subjected to a limited step in the process. Integrated automation, the most sophisticated, is capable of carrying out multiple scheduled steps facilitated by a robotic mover. This allows unmanned operation for extended periods providing walk away or overnight convenience.1An important consideration in any automated solution is the skill requirement of the operator. More sophisticated systems will require automation programming skills often leveraging automation engineers. Specialized training from the equipment vendor may also be required. Batch automation can often be accomplished with little specialized training. Compared to ten years ago, automation today has evolved and become more democratized. This continued trend will reduce the need for specialized training in the future with more turn-key and intuitive solutions becoming commercially available.

David Ebner, Principal investigator at the Target Discovery Institute in Oxford, UK explains: There are two key limiting factors for any group trying to do high-throughput screening today. The first is the expertise to translate a benchtop assay to a high-throughput platform and the second factor is the expense. Centralized core facilities are one way to address the expense factor. And as automation becomes more turn-key, the need for specialized engineers is reduced, allowing future resources to be more research scientist driven.

The discovery and development of small molecules and antibodies targeting T cell function, as well as T cell-based cell therapies and cell manufacturing, require assays to rapidly and reliably profile T cell activation and cell health. In this app note, discover how phenotypic screening addresses these needs, using a single assay to provide rapid, optimized monitoring of cell proliferation, activation markers and cytokines.

Microfluidic technology, a more extreme form of miniaturization, addresses some of these known fluid handling challenges.4 Microfluidic chips provide the benefits of reduced volumes while replacing liquid handling mechanics with channels connected to liquid reservoirs. In some cases, the device has integrated tools such as electrodes built-in and can combine multiple operational steps. 5Microfluidic devices are also able to isolate single cells, which can be further cultured on the chip. This ability removes cellular heterogeneity on cancer cell populations as an example. Traditional drug screening methods see response information from an average of all cells. The microfluidic solution allows analysis of a single cell's antidrug response.4 In addition to this cell-on-chip model, recent advances have led to tissue-on-chip and organ-on-chip models which are still early in development. These kind of chip models may someday provide a powerful alternative to animal models.6 Because they are early in development, they are not high- throughput solutions today. But they show great promise to speed determination of drug activity, optimal combinatorial drug screening and toxicity testing in the future.4Artificial intelligenceApplied to drug discovery, artificial intelligence (AI) has been used in medicinal chemistry for designing compounds since the 1960s. 7 Machine-learning tools like quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling have identified potential target molecules from millions of candidate compounds. 8 Today, AI has expanded its application in drug discovery to a range of tasks from robotics control to image analysis and logistics. AI has also been applied throughout the drug discovery process from target selection, hit identification, lead optimization through to preclinical studies and clinical trials. 7, 8Dr Mohammad HamediRad and colleagues at the University of Illinois explain that with new uses of AI, "the role of researcher changes from drivers of the experiments to supervisors of the system." AI, integrated with robotic systems enables automation of the design, build, test, and learn (DBTL) cycle. This results in a platform that designs experiments, executes them, analyzes the data then optimizes and executes subsequent experiments iteratively. This closed loop discovery reduces the total number of experiments and generates the best possible optimization. The concept was demonstrated by HamediRad and colleagues in 2019. Their fully-automated platform evaluated less than 1% of possible variants and outperformed traditional screening methods by 77%.9AI platforms can cut down the development time from lead molecule to a candidate by more than half. AI predicted molecules are more likely to be correct and allow a focused effort. Time isnt wasted testing irrelevant molecules which would have been worked on otherwise and make up 90% of the molecules tested by traditional methods.10 Currently, AI can help find novel compounds which are more potent and selective using high quality screening data sets much faster and at less expense than screening alone, explains Ebner.

Personalized or precision medicine is another area where AI plays an important role. Precision medicines are a growing proportion of drugs in the industry pipeline. 11 Extensive collections of human samples (diseased and healthy) are required for biomarker identification in developing a personalized medicine. 12 Typically, all samples are sequenced using next-generation sequencing which generates massive amounts of data. AI methods of deep-learning make analysis of these big data sets possible. 8Automation Journey Guide: How To Automate Simple to Complex Workflows For Achieving Results Beyond High-throughput

Laboratory automation is playing a key role in advancing scientific research, from pharmaceutical development to diagnostics. Whether it is to automate a simple or sophisticated workflow, automation is now used in labs throughout the world to increase their capacity and throughput. In this eBook, discover a detailed guide to introducing automation to your lab.

Detailed Map of Breast Cancer Reveals the Effects of Mutations on the Tumor Landscape – Clinical OMICs News

Friday, February 21st, 2020

An international team of scientists, spearheaded by a 20 million ($25.9 million) award from Cancer Research UK, has developed the most detailed maps of breast cancer available, which map breast tumor samples to a resolution smaller than a single cell.

The maps, published in Nature Cancer this week, detail the intricacies and complexity of the cancer landscapecomprising cancer cells, immune cells, and connective tissueand how it varies both between, and within, tumors depending on their unique genetic makeup.

At the moment, doctors only look for a few key markers to understand what type of breast cancer someone has, said Dr. Raza Ali, junior group leader at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, and the studys lead author. But as we enter an era of personalized medicine, the more information we have about a patients tumor, the more targeted and effective we can make their treatment.

In the future, the hope is that such a map could provide clinicians with a wealth of information specific to each patients tumor at the time of diagnosis, thus providing an opportunity to match patients with the most appropriate therapy. The information would also be used to analyze tumor during a patients treatment to more clearly see how a patient is responding to their therapy and to adjust the treatment regimen based this.

In the study, the international research teams from Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, University of Cambridge; the University of Zrich, Switzerland; and the British Columbia Cancer Research Centre, Canada, studied 483 different tumor samples collected during the Cancer Research UK funded METABRIC study, a project that has already significantly improved the understanding of the disease by revealing that there are at least 11 different subtypes of breast cancer.

The team looked within the samples for the presence of 37 key proteins, indicative of the characteristics and behavior of cancer cells. Using a technique called imaging mass cytometry, they produced detailed images, which revealed precisely how each of the 37 proteins were distributed across the tumour.

The researchers then combined this information with genetic data from each patients sample to further enhance the image resolution. This is the first time imaging mass cytometry has been paired with genomic data.

These tumor blueprints expose the distribution of different types of cells, their individual characteristics and the interactions between them.By matching these pictures of tumors to clinical information from each patient, the team also found the technique could be used to predict how someones cancer might progress and respond to different treatments.

Professor Carlos Caldas, from the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute and co-author of the study said: Weve shown that the effects of mutations in cancer are far more wide-ranging than first thought.They affect how cancer cells interact with their neighbours and other types of cell, influencing the entire structure of the tumour.

The research was funded by Cancer Research UKs Grand Challenge initiative. By providing international, multidisciplinary teams with 20 million grants, this initiative aims to solve the biggest challenges in cancer.

This team is making incredible advances, helping us to peer into a future when breast cancer treatments are truly personalized, said Dr. David Scott, director of Grand Challenge at Cancer Research UK. Theres still a long way to go before this technology reaches patients, but with further research and clinical trials, we hope to unlock its powerful potential.

Doctors team up with students to improve cervical cancer treatment – Baylor College of Medicine News

Friday, February 14th, 2020

For women with advanced cases of cervical cancer, radiation therapy is generally the only curative treatment. The treatment of cervical cancer is unique, in that, brachytherapy, a form of radiation treatment where radioactive isotopes are placed within or near tumors, is a necessary component.

Dr. Michelle Ludwig, a radiation oncologist at the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center at Baylor College of Medicine, and Dr. Alexander Hanania, fourth-year resident physician in radiation oncology at Baylor, both see patients at Harris Health Systems Attwell Radiation Therapy Center at Smith Clinic. They are researching a way to make brachytherapy more efficient and less toxic for patients with cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is a disease more common in medically underserved patients who have less access to screening and vaccination, Ludwig said. We are excited to work to bring access to personalized medicine in the form of a customizable device to the medically underserved patients in Harris County, as we have one of the highest volume centers in the country for this patient population.

Reserved solely for the most technical and challenging of cases, a procedure called interstitial brachytherapy allows doctors to deliver higher doses of radiation internally and directly to the tumor.

Interstitial brachytherapy is generally only needed for patients with large advanced tumors, or when there is another reason such as anatomical challenges or disease recurrence, Hanania said. In certain areas where we treat the uninsured population, more often than not, were seeing locally advanced disease, which often requires interstitial brachytherapy.

Historically, the procedure involves suturing a grid template to the body, then inserting a series of needles through the template holes and into the tissue involved with and surrounding the tumor. Radioactive isotopes are run through the needles to deliver the radiation and kill the tumor.

The procedure is highly effective in controlling and often curing cervical cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body, but it can also be damaging to the tissues and organs surrounding the cervix. According to Hanania, new devices on the market allow for more precise treatment but most are too expensive for most hospitals.

Last fall, Hanania visited Rice University with the hopes of finding an affordable solution. He presented the problem at an engineering design fair where students met with potential collaborators in a variety of industries. He met a group of five undergraduate students seniors Elisa Arango, Susannah Dittmar, Krithika Kumar and Sanika Rane and junior Lauren Payne all interested in addressing a global health issue.

We know that the women affected by cervical cancer have less access to healthcare, Dittmar said. These women shouldnt have to go through this painful, extensive treatment just because of their financial situation. We wanted to find a way to make the procedure better.

The group, which calls themselves Team At Your Cervix, got to work designing a new obturator that could be built with a 3D printer at Rices Oshmann Engineering Design Kitchen. After months of research and collaboration with Ludwig and Hanania, they now have a prototype called the Universally Friendly Obturator, or UFO.

Our goal was to reduce the number of transcutaneous needles, Dittmar said. The way were going to do that is by bringing them into the obturator so theyre going through the vaginal canal and not through the tissue.

The UFO is also wider than a traditional obturator and has a flexible head so the needles can better reach the cervix without disturbing the surrounding tissue.

Our goal was for it to be 3D printed so it can be an open sourced file, Payne said. Because were a global health project, it has to be low cost. The idea is that anyone in the world can access the file and print it.

In the coming months, the group will continue to develop and test new prototypes. They have designed simulations to see how the device would hold up in a real procedure

I think this device could decrease the morbidity of the implant. If its effective, it will not only shorten the amount of time that were in the operating room, it will also decrease the amount of trauma to the body, Hanania said. Every needle you put in increases the risk of trauma to other nearby parts of the body. This device would work with existing technology to make the therapy more targeted, and therefore less toxic.

The group will present their final prototype at the Rice Engineering Design Showcase at Tudor Fieldhouse on Thursday, April 16. After graduation, the team hopes another group of seniors will continue their work.

Dr. Hanania and Dr. Ludwig came to us with an actual problem that they face, said Rane, who will be attending Baylors School of Medicine in the fall. Our prototype can have an immense effect here in Houston and across the globe.

Life Sciences Jobs Expected to Grow by 133,000 Over Next 10 Years in the UK – BioSpace

Friday, February 14th, 2020

Are you in the United Kingdom and looking for a job in the life sciences? Or, are you planning on having a career in the life sciences? If so, then, youll be happy to know that there are an expected 133,000 jobs to be added to the sector over the next 10 years.

A new report called the Life Sciences 2030 Skills Strategy published in collaboration with theAssociation of the British Pharmaceutical Industry and the U.K.s Office for Life Sciences, forecasts the addition of 133,000 life science jobs by 2030. The jobs will range across the sector and include biopharma, medical devices and other areas of the industry. Specifically, the report predicts the addition of 43,000 jobs in biopharma, about 90,000 jobs in medtech and another 55,000 jobs to replace retirees across the sector.

The forecast does get a little more specific for the types of positions that will be needed in the U.K. over the next 10 years. For example, the report suggests that pharma research and development will require about 19,300 positions, while manufacturing roles in pharma will grow by about 6,400 jobs. While those are strong numbers, the report suggests that the medical device industry will see even greater growth.

The report projects 8,000 new jobs in medtech research and development and 46,500 jobs in medtech manufacturing.

For the other positions, the report suggests that by 2030, there will be an increase of 52,400 service and supply positions in the industry.

Alex Felthouse, managing director, Eisai Manufacturing and chairman of the Science Industries Partner Futures Group, a participant in the survey, said the strategy guide lays out the recommendations to take skills forward out to 2030 in support of the growing life sciences industry

To meet the demand that we have for the future we need to ensure that our industry is attractive to those who are considering joining the sector. We need to make them aware of all of the fantastic opportunities there are across a diverse and exciting range of activities from research and development through to medicines manufacturing. We also need toensure we have parity of esteem between different educational routes whether it be traditional academic routes, apprenticeships, vocational studies or ongoing continued professional development.

In order to capture some of these positions, the Life Sciences 2030 Skills Strategy outlines some of the key skills that will be needed by applicants. The skill sets include, as could be expected, proficiency in computers, as well as statistical literacy. The skills outlined are broad, but with the increasing reliance on machine learning and artificial intelligence in the pharmaceutical industry, that should provide more direction for potential applicants. The report notes that there is an accelerating convergence between life sciences, computer science, mathematics, statistics, engineering and chemistry in the fields of diagnostics, personalized medicine and data science.

There are also a number of soft skills that will be of benefit for future applicants. According to the survey, those kinds of skills will involve effective communication, leadership skills, sales and marketing abilities, as well as translational commercialization skills.

With the projected growth of jobs over the next 10 years, Nadhim Zahawim, business and industry minister for the U.K., said the government of the United Kingdoms hope is that the country will become a science superpower. By creating cutting-edge jobs in the life sciences industry, that will help the U.K. make progress in areas such as early medical diagnosis and manufacturing, Zahawim said in a statement. By providing a pathway for the growth, Zahawim said this will help level up every part of the UK with new opportunities.

In order to meet the demands, the government made several recommendations, including the implementation of an action plan from key stakeholders to oversee the growth of the industry. This action plan is aimed at encouraging and incentivizing the take-up of apprenticeships programs in all parts of the sector in order to establish parity of esteem with academic routes. Additionally, the action plan calls for supporting the transfer and exchange of a global workforce. The action plans have yet to be finalized, but when they are, the government said it will establish certain as-yet unnamed milestones and targets.

The government also points out that it will need to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs to boost the increase of potential applicants, and also create a positive landscape that will attract and retain globally mobile talent. The strategy also notes that encouraging some academic researchers to shift into industry will also be key.
