PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Member, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, 04/2008 – 06/2017

Assistant Professor of Medicine, 08/2006 – 06/2017

Worked as a Principal Investigator for over 10 years in charge of an academic research laboratory conducting basic and translational research.

Identified new targets for melanoma therapy and developed new approaches for understanding resistance to tumor suppression mechanisms in cancer. One of my accomplishments was the demonstration that constitutive activation of the MAPK pathway in advancer cancer feeds directly into the Transforming Growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling pathway to promote TGFβ-driven pro metastatic activity at the expense of TGFβ tumor suppressive activity.

Forged collaborations with Medical Doctors, in charge of translational research and clinical trials. One of my accomplishments was to show that the administration of the promising agent riluzole, a glutamate release inhibitor, to melanoma patients was triggering feedback mechanisms and activating the TGFβ and WNT pathways, major players in distant melanoma metastasis, thereby compromising riluzole’s anti-tumor properties.

Forged collaborations with cancer immunologists involved in Melanoma and Breast Cancer research. These ongoing collaborations aim to understand how pro-metastatic cancer cells repurpose the expression of their receptors to inhibit the anti-tumor immune response.

Developed new concepts for understanding resistance to targeted therapy through immunosuppression. One of our accomplishments resides in approaching the resistance to targeted therapy through up regulated expression of the immune checkpoint PD-L1 at the membrane of cancer cells.

Identify pro-oncogenic transcription factors as a means to delineate more druggable downstream targets

One accomplishment is the demonstration that the new melanoma target that we identified, the transcription factor RUNX2, regulates membrane receptors involved in resistance to BRAF V600E targeted therapy, which are druggable.

Interpreted research findings and summarized data into peer-reviewed articles, resulting in high-impact

publications in Oncology, such as Carcinogenesis, Cancer Letters, Oncotarget and Drugs Discovery Today.

Applied and received research scholar grants from American Foundations, such as the American Cancer Society and the New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research

Family Leave, 06/2004-07/2006

Research Associate/Junior Faculty, Rutgers University, Piscataway NJ 08854), 06/2002 - 02/2004

Developed new models of melanoma development and identified new targets for melanoma treatment. One major accomplishment was the identification of a member of G-protein-coupled receptors, the metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (GRM1) as a new target for therapeutic intervention. This work was the basis for the clinical trial involving the aforementioned glutamate release inhibitor riluzole. A genetically engineered mouse model overexpressing GRM1 is still being used until today as a melanoma model and in preclinical studies to inform the design of future clinical trials not only for melanoma but also for other cancer types such as Breast Cancer.

Postdoctoral training, at the Susan Lehman Cullman Laboratory for Cancer Research – Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey, 06/1999-05/2002

Developed vivid interest in cancer research through the development of new melanoma models, including transgenic models of melanoma.

Introduced new techniques into the laboratory to address the challenges associated with identifying a new melanoma target.

Refined writing experience through program projects and proposals, abstracts for scientific meetings, manuscript submissions and establishment of new technical protocols.

Prepared oral presentations (Microsoft PowerPoint) and delivered communications at scientific meetings.

Postdoctoral training, at the Gustave Roussy Institute, Laboratory “Hématopoiesis and Stem Cells”, INSERM U362, Villejuif, France, 01/1995-04/1999

Delineate the regulation of the thrombopoietin, which regulates platelet production, and of its receptor MPL in mouse models

Developed independent writing, through abstracts, posters, manuscript submissions and fellowship

applications. Published in high impact scientific journals in Hematology such as Blood.
