Activity at CRBCM

Today we have concluded a meeting with DR Zhang and (UTEP) and DR Bryan (Texas Tech) on future projects.  We have discussed our collaborative efforts on several  projects, and discussed to use "gene interference" techniques to affect several genes and see whether we can affect several pathways for the cure of cancer.
Several critical areas:
ie.  Could blocking PMS2 (MLH-1  or MLH1 protein ) increase the efficiency of 5-FU in Colon cancer?
ie. Could activation of ARF amplify MDM2 with increased proteosomal degration of P53 in certain Sarcoma?
ie. Could a genetically engineered AATCC Nucleotide set keep Telomeres busy to increase Apoptosis?
ie. Could genetic instability induced by inactivation of telomerase increase radiation sensitivity and response to certain chemotherapy agents?
ie. Examining the role of RPTPs in Alzheimer dementia
ie. Blocking the Farnesyl to delocalize RAS in lung cancers
ie. Blocking Phospholipase C in PIK3 driven cancers?

The meeting was concluded with a tour of the Laboratory.
Our work is cut out, CRBCM, is still working hard for the cure, no stone will stay unturned!

COLLABORATION AT CRBCM

A STRONG COLLABORATION BEING BUILT AT CRBCM
KEY MEETING THIS FRIDAY AT UTEP AND TEXAS TECH!

That is great!

I can reserve a small conference room (Bioscience Building Room 3.118) at UTEP. Would you like to give a brief presentation for your current project? If so, I can also prepare a laptop computer and projector.

The MEANING OF THE MDHonors AWARD for CRBCM.

MEANING OF THE MDHonors AWARD for CRBCM.

The CRBCM would like to thank MDHonors for the Research award given to our Coalition and young clinic (Greater East cancer Center of El Paso Texas).  This award will allow to build our institution's primary steps into the research power house we intend to become.  It will formalize in practical terms (working on a tangible research project) some of our collaboration attempts with the University Medical Center in El Paso, and the UTEP (University of Texas in El Paso).  With this award, the CRBCM will continue to march toward the cure day by day, and with confidence and focused vision.   And with this steady progression, victory is certain.  MDHonors revived our hope in the belief that we still have a chance to succeed if we try hard enough!
The cure is within reach, we got to keep on believing that it is reachable, and not get discouraged by politicians and malicious institutions which are distracting our progress toward the cure! 
We can not thank MDHonors enough ; for now let's go to work as we face international scrutiny and the true challenge of a cure for cancers!

And God Bless CRBCM
La lucha continua !

Dr Kankonde.

ACTIVITY AT CRBCM

*Steady stream of patients good for business,
but Medicare and Medicaid payments still not coming in
and they accuse physicians for not wanting to take these patients;
but how can you dedicate your time fully to the complexity of taking care of patients without being paid!
It is just a shame!

*we are meeting this coming week the UTEP biostatistic lab for possible Collaboration on future research projects.
The Dept of Defense is calling for submissions. Please Rush and participate!  Closing door Feb 27, 2013.

*There are only 2 PET scan Machines in El Paso. Population 750,000, 4th city in Texas!   Price range per study from $1,500 to 4,000 according to your insurance!  Investors contact me. I will help!  Even the University Medical Center does not have (one from sure source)!

*The Great State of Indiana is UP! we will be traveling there tomorrow to take the Pulse!

*Survivorship program for cancer survivors in Indiana, coming soon!  We keep working Hard!

The future is on the move!

The UTEP School of Nursing welcomed its largest class ever in the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program this week. Ninety-three students from across the United States and five countries enrolled in the online master’s degree program this spring semester. More than 70 MSN students attended orientation in the Health Sciences and Nursing Building on Wednesday and Thursday.
