1 Group 3 Group 3 The “Omes” Precision Cancer Medicine
Advocate Mentor: Patrick Sullivan Scientific Mentor: Camille Ragin, PhD, MPH Group Members: Ivy Elkins, Kathye D. Jenkins, David Makumi, Katie Parker, Seana Roubinek, Lanette Veres

2 Definitions & Application
What are Omics? Definitions & Application Omics aims at the collective characterization and quantification of pools of biological molecules that translate into the structure, function, and dynamics of an organism or organisms. Multi-OMICS approaches in cancer can be used to: - to dissect the cell response to chemo- or immunotherapy -discover molecular candidates with diagnostic/prognostic value.  Diverse OMICs strategies in cancer are important for better understanding of: -Cancer progression, -Discovery of new therapeutic interventions. -Development of new cancer biomarkers

5 EGFR ALK ROS1 BRAF NTRK MET MEK
Precision Medicine Success Molecular profiling has changed lung cancer treatment from a one-size-fits-all approach to targeted therapy for many mutations types, including: EGFR ALK ROS1 BRAF NTRK MET MEK

6 Some examples of cancers with targeted therapies
Ovarian – PARP Inhibitors Breast Cancer – Herceptin CML & GIST – Gleevac

7 Examples of tumors that lend themselves to Precision Medicine Do Don’t Lung Hard to get at tissues Breast Some blood cancers CML Brain Melanoma

8 Obstacles to Precision Medicine Cost Availability Accessible Drugs Disparities Lengthy development Approval of new indications Access to clinical trials

9 Innovations/New Ideas Approaches that target multiple truncal mutations Single cell sequencing

10 Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the Scientist Survivor Program, AACR ! Love, Group 3
