Prof. Mohamed L. Salem presented on Tanta University's success in research fundraising. Key points include: - Tanta University established the Grants, Innovation & Technology Transfer Center to support research projects and capacity building. - Funding for research projects at Tanta University has increased from local and international sources like STDF, reaching over 35 million Egyptian pounds from 2010-2014. - A major project was the Center of Excellence in Cancer Research funded by an STDF grant, which established advanced equipment and aims to perform translational cancer research.

• Scientific hypothesis-driven
• Capacity Building
– Individual (Mobility)
– Institutional (Infrastructure)

6. Research Capacity Development
• Is an ongoing process aims to increase
the ability of an organization to:
– carry out its functions
– achieve its objectives
– learn and solve problems
• It includes creating the ability to deal
with the issues of today and to remain
relevant in the future.

42. Overall Aim of The Proposal
1. Establish "Center of Excellence in Cancer Research
(CECR)” and furnish the center with three state-of-
art equipment, including:
– Flow Cytometr
– Next generation microarray platform
– FLEXMAP 3D advanced liquid based multiplexing system
which bridging the proteome and the genome.
– Isoflux
2. Perform cutting-edge preclinical and clinical cancer
research

43. Correlate clinical performance with genomic
and proteomic profiling of primary tumors
with circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cancer
stem cells (CSCs).
Use CTCs and CSCs to genotype for mutated
genes as pharmacodynamic data for
molecularly targeted drugs.
