Projects § Epigenetic markers for lung cancer risk prediction and early detection Lung cancer prognosis and survival can be substantially improved by early detection. For optimal balance of potential benefits versus financial costs and possible health hazards of screening, screening must be targeted to individuals with high absolute lung cancer risk. To identify candidate epigenetic lung cancer risk markers, comparative genome wide methylation screening will be performed to identify CpG sites differentially methylated in existing blood samples from lung cancer cases and control subjects as well as in lung tumour vs. adjacent normal tissue in LC-‐2. Genome screens will use MCIp enrichment followed by array-‐based or NGS analysis. § Epigenetic programming of CF lung disease This project on epigenetic programming of the diversity of pulmonary disease in monozygous CF twins will test the hypothesis whether postnatal exposure to inanimate and animate irritants leads to somatic mutations and epigenetic imprints in airway epithelial and immune effector cells that substantially shape the progression of pulmonary disease in CF.
§ Methylation analysis of lung cancer susceptibility loci Within an NIH-‐funded project “Transdisciplinary Research into Cancer of the Lung (TRICL), we are investigating lung cancer susceptibility loci for interindividual variation in methylation, aberrant methylation in tumor vs normal tissues, and epigenetic regulation at these loci.
