Dr. Vladimir Bogdanov is recruiting a Post Doctoral Fellow to work in his lab focusing on alternatively spliced Tissue Factor (asTF) as a potential therapeutic target in gastrointestinal malignancies. Alternatively spliced Tissue Factor (asTF) is a soluble form of Tissue Factor (TF), the trigger of blood clotting. We were the first to report that asTF is elevated in the cancer lesions and circulating blood of patients suffering from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Mechanistically, asTF protein acts as a cell agonist promoting growth and spread of malignant cells; our recently developed inhibitory antibody against asTF is currently being tested in animal models. Areas of interest include, but not limited to, the consequences of antibody-mediated inhibition of asTF on primary and metastatic tumor growth; the mechanisms regulating asTF biosynthesis in malignant cells; and the potential utility of asTF as a biomarker of disease aggressiveness and/or recurrence.
