The Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy has honored Dr. Harald Sauthoff, Assistant Professor of Medicine and Environmental Medicine at the NYU School of Medicine, with the 2006 Young Investigator Award . It's worth $500,000 over three years with 10% overhead. (http://www.acgtfoundation.org)

The title of his proposal is: "Adenoviral Delivery of Transducible Peptides for Cancer Treatment".

In essence, Dr. Sauthoff and colleagues are planning to test if protein transduction technology can improve the efficacy of adenoviral gene-therapy vectors for the treatment of cancer.
