Biennial Research Report 2005 ‐2006Current Research Projects 31. Activation and proliferation of purified hemopoietic stem cellsPI: P LansdorpNIH$187,500 (2005)$187,500 (2006)$595,758 (2002‐2007)This project examines the role of telomerase and telomeres incontrolling blood cell production throughout life. This projectwill test the hypothesis that the replication history ofhematopoietic stem cells is traceable by examining telomerelength.2. A phase I study of DT388IL3 fusion protein in patients with relapsed and refractory acute myeloidleukemiaPI: D HoggeLeukemia Research Fund of Canada$43,500 (2005)$43,500 (2006)$87,000 (2004‐2006)The goal of this study is to assess dosage and toxicity of asterilized recombinant diphtheria fusion protein – DT388IL3 – ina clinical trial of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.TERRY FOX LABORATORY3. A novel transplant protocol for chronic myelogenous leukemiaPI: A Eaves, C Eaves, M de Lima(MD Anderson)NIH$67,500 (2005)$132,500 (2004‐2006)This project will evaluate three purging methods to selectivelyeliminate chronic myelogenous leukemia stem cells ex vivo.4. A quantitative and comprehensive atlas of gene expression in mouse development ‐ GenomeCanada Competition II awardCo‐PI: M Marra, P HoodlessGenome Canada5. Bioinformatic standards for flow cytometryPI: R BrinkmanCo‐PI: C SmithNIH$220,000 (2005)$220,000 (2006)$1,100,000 (2005‐2010)For project description see Genome Sciences CentreThis project is a multidisciplinary collaboration focused ondeveloping data exchange standards for flow cytometry. Thescope of this project includes development of an ontology, a database schema, statistical and visual analysis tools, and a gatingstandard in the Extensible Markup Language (XML).6. Biology of cancer: Follicular lymphoma as a model of cancer progressionPI: J ConnorsCo‐I: A WengNCIC PPG7. Cancer Genomics – Genome Canada Competition I awardCo‐PI: V Ling, M Marra, C EavesCo‐I: K Humphries, P Lansdorp, etal.Genome Canada/ Province of BCFor project description see Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.For project description see Cancer Genetics & DevelopmentalBiology.3 Key to abbreviations: PI = Principal Investigator, Co‐I = Co‐investigator; CIHR* = Funding Institution; $150,000 (2005‐2007) = Total Project Funding for Given Years (*see pages 16‐17 for a list of acronyms)155
