Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The DeGregorio Family Foundation, with support from the Esophageal Cancer Awareness Association, has awarded an additional $75,000 Michael F. Price Memorial Grant to Anthony Capobianco, Ph.D., Professor in the DeWitt Daughtry Family Department of Surgery and researcher at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
This continued support recognizes the significant progress made under the original 2023 award, which demonstrated the ability to disrupt cancer stem cells (CSCs) through dual inhibition of the Notch and Wnt pathways.
Building on these results, the research team will provide the groundwork to advance two novel drugs — SSTN-302 and SST-1034 — to a Phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced Upper GI cancer.
