Description:

Research in finding more effective treatments and cures for blood cancers is proceeding at an extraordinary and positive pace. In my laboratory at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center which leads the nation in blood cancer research we are pursuing many innovative approaches.  We now better understand the effects of genetics, immunity and diet on the course of cancer.We re finding the genes that cause blood cancers. We have demonstrated the effects of specific genes on cancer, and have developed new genetic therapies that may reverse the lethal nature of this dreaded disease. First ROR1 AntibodyFirst laboratory to develop ROR1 antibody now used in CLL clinical trial at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center Discovery of ZAP-70A protein which is used to determine the aggressiveness of CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) and course of the disease Nurse-Like Cells IdentificationThe first laboratory to understand the micro-environment of leukemic cells and the nurse-like cells that support them National LeaderLeadership of the CLL Research Consortium which includes 9 prestigious universities studying the cause and treatment of CLL First Gene TherapyConducted the first human therapy correcting genetic defects involved in CLL at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center Genetic ResearchKey member of the research team that identified familial genetic links to CLL, showing the higher risk of developing the disease within families Our TeamTo continue our pace of research, we have recruited the most talented scientists in the world to join our team at the Moores Cancer Center.The key to our success lies in exploring every potential avenue to a cure.Simply put, the more scientists we can train, attract and support to help us, the sooner we will find the treatments that will control cancer. Support Our ResearchIn today s world of limited governmental resources, to sustain our progress we need to ask you for your help. Your gift will allow us to accelerate the pace of our research leading to a cure in our lifetime.Without your help too many people with cancer will not be saved; too many families will needlessly suffer the loss of a loved one.Please help us find a cure for this deadly disease. 100 percent of every dollar you contribute to the Blood Cancer Research Fund will go directly to research to find a cure for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.Interested in joining our team?Reach out to us and we will be in touch as soon as possible. About Us The Moore's UCSD Cancer Center, the home of the Kipps Research Lab, holds the distinct honor of being a National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, the highest ranking awarded to cancer centers by the federal government.
