Andres Buonanno Section of Molecular Neurobiology, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
Identification of novel drug targets in the NRG-ErbB signaling pathway to treat cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia (Scz) and bipolar (BiP) disorder, such as working memory. Develop novel markers to diagnose and classify distinct types and phases Scz and BiP disorder. Use of novel knockout mice and lentivirus-targeted shRNAs to identify and test novel drugs.

Prognostic for Prostate Cancer Treatment Prognostic for Prostate Cancer Treatment William D. Figg, Pharm. D.Medical Oncology Branch
Technology: Cancer Biomarkers for androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC)
a. CYP1B1*3 A genetic marker called CYP1B1*3 can predict survival in patients with prostate cancer prior to treatment with docetaxel. This genetic marker can be measured in DNA obtained from a blood sample. This technology can be potentially used to predict the patient's propensity to respond to docetaxel treatment when being treated for AIPC, which remains the second leading cause of cancer death in men in developed nations,
b. SLCO1B3 Two polymorphic genetic markers in the SLCO1B3 gene, measured in genomic DNA obtained from a blood sample, can provide a correlation between clinical outcome of SLCOlB3 genotype with median survival of androgen independent prostate cancer. The genotype can also predict testosterone uptake, which is useful in clinical decisions regarding anti-androgen therapy.

Assay to detect Plk1 levels and activityAssay to detect Plk1 levels and activityKyung Lee, Ph.D.
Laboratory of Metabolism
Technology: Cancer DiagnosticMammalian polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), a critical mitotic kinase, is upregulated in ~ 80% of human cancers. A growing body of evidence suggests that Plk1 plays a critical role in numerous mitotic events and cellular proliferation. Plk1 has been suggested as a biomarker for several types of human cancers and is considered an important potential target for anti-cancer therapy.
Value Proposition: Rapid and highly-sensitive ELISA that allows quantification of Plk1 activity with only several microgram of unpurified total lysates from cells and tissues. Provide broad clinical applications including prognosis of Plk1-associated cancers and assessment of early therapy response following anti-proliferative chemotherapy.

Rabies program/PRB, DVRD, NCZVED, CCID
Technology:Effective contraceptive vaccine for rabies: By incorporating a main immunocontraceptive gene into the rabies virus ERA genome, this invention provides a recombinant immuno-contraception vaccine for population management and rabies protection.
Value Proposition:More than 55,000 people die of rabies each year. About 95% of these occur in Asia and AfricaMore than 90% of human rabies are caused by rabid dog biting. Once the signs and symptoms of rabies start to appear, the disease is almost always fatal. Globally, the most cost-effective strategy for preventing human rabies is by eliminating rabies in dogs through animal vaccinations. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs099/en This vaccine can prevent rabies and simultaneously control animal populationsThe vaccine is inexpensive and can be used on many animals including dogs, cats, raccoons, and other wild animals that spread rabies R&D Status: Animal study data is available; technology is available for licensing or collaborationIP Status: Provisional Patent Application filed September 2008CDC Reference # I-025-06; contact CDC Technology Transfer Office 770-488-8600
