2 Welcome On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2006 FASEB Experimental Biology Symposium on the Genomics of Health Disparities. The focus of this year s symposium, disparities in breast and prostate cancer incidence and mortality, is an area of grave national concern. Of the approximately 1.3 million invasive cancers diagnosed in 2003, racial/ethnic minorities accounted for a highly disproportionate number of these cancers. For example, population data indicate that African Americans suffer from a 10 percent higher incidence rate and a staggering 30% higher death rate for all cancers combined relative to whites. Particularly troubling is the fact that mortality to incidence ratios for some cancers, notably breast, have actually worsened over the past ten years. What are the extrinsic and intrinsic influences that are responsible for these disparities? How is the information gained from 30+ years of research into the molecular pathogenesis of cancer being utilized in understanding and addressing cancer disparities? What are the applications of genomics and proteomics in identifying at risk individuals for early intervention? The questions are multiple and complex. They demand answers if we are to improve health outcomes for a vast proportion of our population. We are indeed fortunate to have a distinguished faculty and panel of experts for this symposium who will not only provide insight into the multiple factors responsible for breast and prostate cancer disparities, but also present their cutting edge research geared at removing these inequities. Their work is both exciting and vital. We hope you take away critical new understanding as a result of today s platform presentations and associated poster session. Nancy L. Thompson, Ph.D. Professor (Research) Medicine and Pathology, Brown Medical School Associate Dean for Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, Deputy Director, RI Hospital COBRE Center for Cancer Research Development EB 2006 Genomics Symposium 3

7 moderator keynote speaker Prior to coming to TGen, Dr. John Carpten spent nine years at the National Institutes of Health, exploring the genetic basis for various human diseases. He currently directs the Genetic Basis of Human Disease research division at TGen. Throughout his career, he has made seminal discoveries in disease gene identification in cancer and other forms of human disease. Several research projects, which resulted in the discovery of genes involved in both hereditary and sporadic prostate cancer, were led by Dr. Carpten. He has sat on and participated in numerous scientific review boards and has performed scientific editorial review for a number of journals. He holds several patents and has published his work in high impact journals such as Science, Nature and Nature Genetics. He hopes to continue his work in the comprehensive genomic profiling of cancer. One area of extreme interest to Dr. Carpten is the identification of somatic changes that can confer resistance to cancer drugs. Research in this area will be critical in providing the appropriate treatments to individual cancer patients. Dr. Carpten will continue to bring his significant expertise in cancer genomics to bear on this issue to hopefully one day increase the life span or improve the quality of life for cancer patients. 8 FASEB

8 keynote speaker Dr. Curtis A. Pettaway is Associate Professor of Urology and Cancer Biology at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Dr. Pettaway s clinical and basic science research is centered on prostate cancer with an emphasis on high risk localized disease. The goal of his studies is to 1) further define serum and tissue markers of prostate cancer progression, 2) develop novel therapeutic strategies to cure locally advanced disease and 3) to reduce disparities in prostate cancer outcome among African Americans and the underserved. Dr. Pettaway s funded research involves defining the prognostic significance of assessing the expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases and E-cadherin in prostate cancer. In addition, through collaborative NIH funded research, Dr. Pettaway is exploring the role of diet and lifestyle in prostate cancer progression. He serves as the Clinical Director of the Neoadjuvant Trials Group that focuses on the integration of novel strategies such as chemotherapy, gene therapy, androgen ablation, and biologic agents with surgery and radiotherapy. Dr. Pettaway serves as the Principal Investigator of the Houston site for the African American Hereditary Prostate Cancer Study. This nationwide network of sites established through the Human Genome Research Institute and Howard University (Washington, DC) accrued African American prostate cancer families to define genetic abnormalities involved in hereditary prostate cancer in African Americans. He is the founder and director of the Prostate Outreach Project providing free education and early prostate cancer detection in the Houston community to African Americans and other underserved populations. EB 2006 Genomics Symposium 9

9 keynote speaker Dr. Rick Kittles received a B.S. in Biology from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1989 and a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from George Washington University in He then went to Howard University where he helped establish the National Human Genome Center at Howard University. As co-director of Molecular Genetics he directed large-scale, high throughput genotyping and DNA sequencing projects. Kittles coordinated a national cooperative network to study the genetics of hereditary prostate cancer in the African American community. He also co-founded African Ancestry, Inc., a private company that provides DNA testing services for tracing African genetic lineages to genealogists and the general public around the world. Dr. Kittles research interests are in genetic effects on diseases and complex traits such as prostate cancer and skin color. An important aspect of his work entails an appreciation of genetic variation and how it is partitioned across human populations. His work on tracing the genetic ancestry of African Americans has brought to focus many issues, new and old, which relate to race, ancestry, identity, and group membership. He has published numerous articles and book chapters on prostate cancer in the African American population, Race, and Health Disparities. Currently he is Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Virology, Immunology and Medical Genetics at the Ohio State University Medical Center. 10 FASEB
