Draft Program Agenda 09:30-10:00 Hrs
“Personalized Medicine: Tailor-made for individual patient” Personalized medicine is the ability to determine an individual's unique molecular characteristics to propose customization of medical care more finely suited to a patient. The availability of genetic information due to successful human genome project has played a major role in the ability to predict an individual's susceptibility to diseases. This will allow protocols designed specifically based on the patient’s response to treatment. Prof. Donald W. Weaver MD, FACS, Surgeon-in-Chief, Detroit Medical Center (DMC), Chief of Surgery at Harper University Hospital, Chairman of Department of Surgery, Wayne State University School of Medicine, USA
10:00-10:20 Hrs
Adeno-associated Viral vectors in Genomic Medicine and cell based treatment Gene therapy with traditional viral vectors is limited by a variety of practical and theoretical concerns, such as the immunogenicity of viral capsid proteins and insertional mutagenesis. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small, 4.7kb, non-enveloped DNA virus initially identified as a contaminant in adenoviral preparations. Bioengineered recombinant AAV (rAAV) vectors are preferred for gene therapy due to their lack of pathogenicity, wide range of infectivity, and ability to establish long-term transgene expression in non-dividing cells. Furthermore, with only a modest frequency of integration into the host genome, they avoid insertional mutagenesis. Finally, rAAV vectors per se induce only weak innate immune responses when compared to other

Coordinated by PHARMEXCIL viral-based vectors. rAAV vectors have yielded promising results in an increasing number of somatic gene therapy clinical trials without any significant adverse events. However, despite the well-established safety of rAAV vectors for in vivo gene transfer, several challenges remain, such as achieving high levels of transduction in targeted organs and inhibiting cytoplasmic degradation of a high percentage of virions during intracellular trafficking to the nucleus. Indeed, rAAV capsids are phosphorylated, marking them for ubiquitination followed by proteasome-mediated degradation in the cytosol. Thus, higher doses of vectors are needed to obtain therapeutically relevant concentrations in patients. The development of next generation of capsid-modified rAAV vectors, which bypass ubiquitination and proteasome degradation, leading to high efficiency gene transfer and transgene expression at reduced doses, and their utility in genomic medicine will be discussed. Dr. Arun Srivastava, George H. Kitzman Professor of Genetics and Chief of Division of Cellular & Molecular Therapy in the Departments of Pediatrics, and Molecular Genetics & Microbiology, and Powell Gene Therapy Center, University of Florida, USA 10:20-10:40 Hrs
Urological cancers, biomarkers and cancer pathway inhibitors Immune status of every tumor and the way its cells respond to the local environment is different, based on the genetic profile of patients. The tumor grade may be the same from patient to patient, but the pathways for escape and resistance may be different. Genomics and proteomics-guided treatment of individual patients is the direction we should be taking to manage malignancies. This holds true not only when it comes to predicting progression and aggression of tumors where we need to be pairing therapeutics based on the genetic/protein marker. Each patient with urological cancer has a distinct histology, a different clinical course and responds differently to therapy. For example genomic studies in identifying the genes for kidney cancer, such as fumarate hydratase, and succinate dehydrogenase have significantly altered the ways in which patients with kidney cancer are managed. Dr. Jose Pontes, MD, Urologist, Detroit, MI, USA

Gene-based treatment for Head and Neck Cancers Although some head and neck cancers are diagnosed early in the disease progression, silent lesions unfortunately are not diagnosed until regional spread has already occurred. The stage at the time of diagnosis for cancer of larynx with early symptoms of hoarseness is much lower than that of a base of tongue cancer, which often lacks symptoms, until later in the disease course. Infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) increases one’s odds of developing squamous cell carcinoma of the oral pharynx. As smoking has decreased, the incidence of HPV associated cancers has increased. Understanding the genetic basis of this specific subtype of cancer could allow therapeutic targeting of affected pathways for a stratified medicine approach. Gene profile analysis of various head and neck cancers revealed altered pathways in p53 and

Coordinated by PHARMEXCIL Rb mutation and copy number alteration of PI3 kinase pathway. Additional observations of alternative pathways have been made in cancers of the thyroid. Whole genome sequencing and identification of gene expression patterns will be required to gain a complete understanding of the genetic basis of head and neck cancers to provide the foundation for the development of effective forms of therapy. Prof. John R Jacobs MD FACS, Departments Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Wayne State University, Karmanos Cancer Center, USA 11:20-11:40 Hrs
Genetic Immunotherapy with Dendritic Cells for Individualized Cancer Vaccine Dendritic cells (DC) are highly specialized antigen-presenting immune cells and key regulators of the immune responses that orchestrate innate and adoptive immunities throughout the body. They are responsible for identifying tumor markers to activate cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which then multiply and attack only the diseased cells, but not normal healthy cells. This is a potent form of immunotherapy to harness the body's own immune system to fight cancer. Use of non-pathogenic recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors can achieve high levels of intracellular tumor specific gene expression in DCs with much lower doses of vector and generation of robust cellular anti-tumor immune responses. Gene-vector based immunotherapy with DCs would pave the way for development of a therapeutic vaccine strategy to achieve durable tumor regression specific to individual patients. Prof. Selvarangan Ponnazhagan, Endowed Professor in Experimental Cancer Therapeutics, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA
11:40-12:00 Hrs
Personalized Therapeutic Vaccines Therapeutic vaccinology will allow the development of personalized vaccines based on our increasing understanding of immune response phenotype: genotype information. Rapid advances in developing such data are already occurring for numerous diseases and newly available data suggest that some vaccine-related adverse events may also be preventable based on genetic prediction. Dr. Bala Krishna Kolli, Rosalinda Franklin University of Medicine and Science, North Chicago, IL, USA
12:00-12:20 Hrs
Role of Bioinformatics in Personalized Medicine In the genomic era: doctors and patients will have access to genetic data to customize medical treatment. In recent past, molecular science has made many advances to benefit medicine, including the Human Genome project, International HapMap project and genome wide association studies (GWASs) (International HapMap Consortium, 2005). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are now recognized as the main cause of human genetic variability and are already a valuable resource for mapping complex genetic traits. Thousands of DNA variants have been identified that are associated with diseases and traits. By combining these genetic associations with phenotypes and drug response, personalized medicine will tailor treatments to the patients’ specific genotype.
