Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The SDBRI mission is to find new ways to predict and prevent cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disease, neurological disorders and HIV infection, and to accelerate medical advances that maintain health and improve quality of life.

  • Cancer:A major question in cancer treatment remains, why do some people respond to treatment and others dont. Finding new ways to detect and treat cancer could potentially lead to cures that are currently unavailable to a majority of patients. At SDBRI scientists are developing a new technology to identify previously unidentifiable cancer-specific targets that might be used to design novel cancer fighting drugs. A Postdoctoral Fellow from India received salary and benefits while being trained at SDBRI in a variety of cellular immunology and sterile techniques to better understand techniques to help diagnose and treat cancer.DNA replication and disease DNA replicates in a highly organized way in healthy cells. However, in unhealthy cells, DNA replication is mis-regulated. SDBRI scientists are working to understand how DNA replication is mis-regulated in human disease in the hopes of finding new therapeutic approaches to preventing and reversing diseases such as cancer.Cells in our bodies eat internal parts of themselves to maintain their own health. This process, known as autophagy (spokeno-to-foh-jee), is essential for removing toxic material that causes diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer. In autophagy, components inside cells are placed in a trash bag called the autophagosome which looks like a balloon. The autophagosome then fuses with the cells incinerator to decompose the transported toxic material. Scientists at SDBRI are working to understand how these complicated events are controlled in the hopes that interventions in these pathways might lead to novel treatments for disease.

    Expenses $2,869,278

  • HIV/AIDS: The World Health Organization recently estimated that 36.7 million people live with HIV/AIDS worldwide with 1 million HIV-related deaths every year. New infections are estimated at an alarming 1.8 million worldwide. Developing a successful HIV vaccine is a major global health initiative. Research at SDBRI is focused on introducing novel designs to create an HIV vaccine that more people respond to. The SDBRI strategy of using HIV virus-like particles (VLPs) as a vaccine platform is showing great promise. In addition, over the past year SDBRI scientists have designed ways to identify factors that help the immune system to respond to HIV vaccines. This is very important because it might allow us to enhance the vaccine making it work in more people. SDBRI continues to participate in a multi-organization HIV vaccine research program. Our investigators work with scientists across the U.S. and in several foreign countries, including The Netherlands and Malaysia. A Staff Scientist from Malaysia received salary & benefits while being trained at SDBRI in a variety of cellular, molecular and biochemical techniques to better understand the human response to vaccines.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
