Awards will Support Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Research
Expression Analysis (EA), a Quintiles company, today announced the winners of a grant program that provides scientists with leading-edge products and services to advance genomics research. In this sixth year of the program, EA and co-sponsor, Illumina, awarded two fully funded research grants to investigate genomic data locked within Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumor samples – a largely untapped data pool that can help enhance researchers’ understanding of cancer biology.

After a rigorous review of nearly 700 submissions by a distinguished panel of judges, two researchers were selected to receive grants. The recipients include:
“Genomic research has the power to transform our knowledge of cancer biology and is instrumental in identifying biomarkers that lead to the development of life-saving and life-enhancing therapies,” said Kellie Yarnell, vice president for Genomic Operations at EA. “Through this grant program, we will help support the work of Dr. Bowcock and Dr. Huang, whose research could one day lead to important advances in the fights against colorectal and ovarian cancers.”
“We are honored to support the efforts of Dr. Bowcock and Dr. Huang in their quests to better understand the underlying science of colon and ovarian cancers. We hope that their research yields insights which will one day improve outcomes for individuals with these devastating diseases,” said Tina Nova, senior vice president and general manager, oncology for Illumina.
