      About Dr. David G. Menter

      startfragment

      My administrative expertise is well suited to overseeing the daily operation of the Administrative Core A.  I am currently an Assistant Professor with a primary appointment in the Department of Cancer Biology at MDACC.  I am also Director of Dr. DuBois’ Laboratory. I trained with Dr. Kenneth V. Honn and Dr. Lawrence Marnett in the study of prostaglandins in the molecular and cellular biology of cancer.  My experience with prostaglandins and other bioactive lipids extends back to a published chapter in “Prostaglandins and Cancer: The First International Conference” in 1981. After coming to the University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, I worked as an Assistant Professor and helped Dr. Scott M. Lippman to establish the Department of Clinical Cancer Prevention in the Division of Cancer Prevention. I also helped to establish the Lung Cancer Biomarkers Core Program in the Department of Thoracic Head and Neck Medical Oncology at the Institution under the supervision of Drs. Scott M. Lippman and Waun Ki Hong. I am currently serving as the Director of Dr. Raymond N. DuBois’ Laboratory and will act as the Core A Co-Director. I have extensive experience in the study of prostaglandins and bioactive lipids in cancer biology.

      Present Title & Affiliation

      Primary Appointment

      Assistant Professor, Gastrointestinal (GI) Medical Oncology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX

      Dual/Joint/Adjunct Appointment

      Assistant Professor, Gastrointestinal (GI) Medical Oncology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX

      Research Interests

      I am interested in the molecular and cellular biology of gastrointestinal tumors. These studies involve four primary areas of research: 1) to understand microenvironmental and age related effects of the colon stromal on CRC; 2) to examine the role of the stromal cell eicosanoid pathway and inflammatory pathway effects on CRC; 3) to examine the role of mesenchymal and epithelial stem cells in the development of CRC and 4) to develop mechanism based approaches of applying nanotechnology to cancer prevention. These studies involve isolating and characterizing cells from colon tumors as well as colon liver metastases. These cells will be used in co-culture experiments with colon tumor cells to examine the their ability to inhibit or promote the growth of tumor cells in vitro or in vivo. Further molecular and eicosanoid profiling will be performed co-cultured cells to dissect out the critical changes that occur when these cells interact during tumor formation. In the future, As a part of the age related effects of stromal cells on CRC, in the process of isolating normal colon and pancreatic mesenchymal and epithelial cells from various age wt or APCmin mice. These mesenchymal cells will be used in co-culture experiments with colon tumor cells to examine the effect of age or inflammatory bioactive lipids on the ability of mesenchymal cells to inhibit or promote the growth  of tumor cells in vitro or in vivo.
