The Morrison laboratory will study whether differences in oxidative stress, lactate metabolism, or mitochondrial function among melanomas from different patients confer intrinsic differences in metastatic potential. Page 3 8/21/20 R01 DK11875-02A1 (Morrison) 04/01/19 – 03/31/24 NIH – National Institutes of Health “The Metabolic Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Function” To determine whether ascorbate (vitamin C) depletion, which is common among people in Western countries, promotes hematopoietic regeneration or clonal hematopoiesis and to identify the mechanisms by which ascorbate regulates hematopoiesis. U01 CA228608-01A1 (PI, Morrison) 09/05/19 – 09/04/24 NCI – National Cancer Institute “The Metabolic Regulation of Melanoma Metastasis” The goal of this project is to compare patient-derived xenograft and patient-derived organoid assays to study the regulation of oxidative stress in melanoma cells. RECENT R37 AG02494514 (PI, Morrison) 08/01/04 – 5/31/20 NIH/NIA (MERIT Award) “The Regulation of Stem Cell Aging” To test whether the Bmi-1 polycomb protein is required to maintain adult neural stem cells and neurogenesis by opposing the age-related increases in p16Ink4a and p19Arf expression such that Bmi-1 deficiency leads to stem cell depletion and behavioral deficits that worsen with age. RP170114 (PI, Morrison) 12/1/16 - 11/30/19 Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas “Mechanisms of melanoma metastasis” To test whether metastasizing melanoma cells exhibit increased dependence on pentose phosphate and malic enzyme pathways relative to primary cutaneous melanomas and whether RUNX3 promotes metastasis by regulating oxidative stress.

Their As of 2014, 387 million people worldwide suffer with diabetes at a stunning cost of over $450 billion annual direct medical costs are expected to for medical attention. The complexity of this disease – reach $16.9 billion by 2020. due to its multi-genetic nature and the innate genetic differences of individuals within this population – has Only ~50% of conventional therapies are perplexed scientists for decades. With advances in effective in the person for whom they are our understanding of the mechanisms underlying this prescribed and many cause adverse side disease, we are poised to better understand the complex effects. Personalized diagnosis is key to nature of diabetes and how to more effectively diagnose, treatment. treat, and one day cure this devastating disease. Researchers in the Life Sciences Institute (LSI), the The Life Sciences Institute Diabetes Research largest institute of its kind in Canada, are positioned to Group is a leading team of experts dedicated take a lead in unraveling medicine’s greatest challenges and providing the data needed by the healthcare to tackling diabetes for better diagnosis and system through an evidence-based approach to achieve treatment. more precise management of health and treatment of disease.
