This position is associated with a new project entitled Bio-Opera and is a joint venture between the Information and Communication Systems Group (IKS) [Prof. A. Alonso] and the Computational Biochemistry Research Group (CBRG) [Prof. G. Gonnet, Dr. M. Hallett]. ---------------------------------------- Project Description Since 1990, the CBRG has developed a Maple-like programming environment called Darwin which contains a robust set of tools which aid biological chemists in the analysis of molecular data. What the system currently lacks is an organized way to store, to retrieve, to query and, generally, to manage the large amounts of data this analysis creates. A way of addressing this issues is to merge Darwin with an object relational database engine. This will make Darwin a more robust tool in terms of data management and to extend its capabilities with the functionality offered by the database engine. This functionality includes concurrency control for multitasking, multiuser environments, recovery, index maintenance, constraint checking, and optimized query processing strategies. In addition, this initial effort will provide the infrastructure for further research in several directions: algorithms, query languages, process support systems, and federated bioinformatic databases. Opera is a process management system currently being developed within the IKS Group. It is intended as a generic kernel for the development of distributed applications as it operates as a high level operating system in charge of scheduling, persistence, and data consistency. Opera generalizes ideas from federated databases, workflow management, transaction processing, and process support, thereby providing sophisticated exception handling mechanism, data tracking tools, automatic consistency checking and maintenance, transactional notions for execution guarantees, and a powerful graphical environment for developing large, complex applications. The main goal of the project is to integrate Opera with Darwin. ---------------------------------------- The doctoral student would be part of a team of five working on this project. The position begins as early as January and would lead towards a Ph.D. in Computer Science assuming all departmental qualifications are met during the duration of the studies. The doctoral student would receive a 100% position within the Institute of Scientific Computing and would be working within the CBRG group and the IKS group. Interested parties would already possess either a Masters of Science (North America), a Diplom (Europe), or an equivalent degree in computer science or mathematics AND/OR molecular biology, biochemistry, or genetics. The candidate should have an interest in databases, datastructure/algorithm theory, and a good knowledge of genetics and molecular biology.

In addition to its critical roles in hemostasis and thrombosis, the thrombin receptor is likely to play a major part in vascularization of tissue during embryogenesis and malignant processes. The PAR1 thrombin receptor serves as the paradigm for a rapidly developing field of protease-activated receptors which are all activated by cleavage at a specific peptide bond by their cognate protease. The thrombin-cleaved N-terminus of PAR1, S42FLLRN47, acts as an intramolecular ligand that binds to the body of the receptor by a poorly understood mechanism. Peptides corresponding to the N-terminus, such as SFLLRN, can elicit a subset of the PAR1 responses independent of receptor proteolysis. Three additional protease-activated receptors have recently been identified, PAR2, PAR3, and PAR4, but their respective roles are not well understood. We have made the intriguing observation that high levels of PAR1 expression and activity occur in a non-small cell lung epithelial cancer cell line. Interestingly, a recent report suggests the involvement of the PAR1 receptor in cellular invasion associated with tumor progression. The goals of this project include extending this preliminary observation to see whether other cancer cell lines including primary breast carcinoma cell lines will demonstrate a direct correlation between the level of expression and activity of PAR receptors and invasiveness. Our laboratory is located within the Molecular Cardiology Research Institute, a modern, state-of-the-art facility supported by several core units including automated DNA sequencing, oligonucleotide and peptide synthesis, plasmid preparation, small animal surgical and physiology lab, flow cytometry, and transgenic mouse facility.

Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) is a widely used and effective agent for thrombolysis in patients suffering from myocardial infarction. Most recently, t-PA is the first approved treatment for selected patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, it is clear from several large clinical trials that t-PA thrombolytic therapy can cause severe complications such as hemorrhage, neuronal injury, or even paradoxical activation of the hemostatic mechanism. A concerted effort is now being made to ease the administration of t-PA, with concomitant reduction in the incidence of debilitating complications. Second generation t-PA drugs, such as reteplase and TNK-tPA, are mutant forms of t-PA that lower or raise the affinity to fibrin and hence may alter the effective plasmin concentration at other sites such as platelet membranes or endothelial cells. The pathophysiological basis of the most common adverse effect—namely bleeding—is most likely due defects in platelet function. In fact, a majority of patients receiving t-PA therapy had significant elevations in their bleeding times regardless of whether they demonstrated spontaneous bleeding. Treatment of platelets with low concentrations of plasmin leads to an attenuated thrombin response, whereas treatment of platelets with high concentrations of plasmin leads to direct platelet activation. Our own studies indicate that these effects of plasmin are due to truncation or direct activation of the platelet thrombin receptor depending on the site of cleavage. An initial goal of this project is to determine whether t-PA induced plasmin can truncate the thrombin receptor on platelets and endothelium in animals, and if so, does prolonged bleeding time correlate with loss of TR-dependent platelet aggregation. These studies will be complemented by a variety of molecular biological and biochemical approaches. Our laboratory is located within the Molecular Cardiology Research Institute, a modern, state-of-the-art facility supported by several core units including small animal surgical and physiology lab, flow cytometry, transgenic mouse facility, automated DNA sequencing, oligonucleotide and peptide synthesis, and plasmid preparation.
