<p>Focusing diagnostics and therapeutics on those most likely to benefit is a key to successful intervention&nbsp;at both the public health and clinical levels. The translational goal of the Spivack laboratory is to identify individuals at particularly high risk for lung malignancy, and selected non-malignant lung diseases, upon whom to focus smoking/toxin exposure cessation (primary prevention), chemoprevention (secondary prevention), and early disease detection efforts (disease screening, tertiary prevention).</p>
<p>The laboratory is currently exploring individual Gene x Environment signatures as susceptibility markers by exploring quantitative gene (mRNA) expression phenotypes, and the DNA sequence, methylation, microRNA, and other epigenetic features potentially underlying these expression phenotypes, <em>in vitro</em> and in human populations. This is performed in the setting of defined tobacco, diet, and other exposures. There are both mechanistic and translational components to the studies.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br /><strong>Mechanistically</strong>, the role of epigenetic variation in promoter regions in the 5' and 3' regulatory regions of carcinogenesis and oxidant pathway genes is being explored <em>in vitro</em>, using human genomic DNA reporter constructs, and native gene regulation models. High resolution technologies include the realtime quantitation of native mRNA and microRNA by the laboratory's RNA-specific strategy (<em>patented</em>); the&nbsp;tagged-bisulfite genomic sequencing strategy to determine single base resolution CpG methylation status (tBGS, <em>patented</em>);&nbsp;&nbsp;an experimental strategy for assaying microRNA binding to mRNA, for determining the role of miRNA in candidate gene regulation&nbsp;(<em>patented</em>); and evaluation of functional consequences of DNA&nbsp;methylation detail, using a novel patch reporter construct (<em>patented</em>).&nbsp; A new method to engineer methyl-cytosines into the epigenome has recently been developed.</p>
<p>Whole (epi)genome approaches to identify molecular events unique to lung cancer&nbsp;are being completed, which will represent one of the initial cross-platform 'omics level discovery examinations of&nbsp;lung&nbsp;tissues.&nbsp; The execution of each individual discovery platform involves&nbsp;expert local collaborators and cores&nbsp;in (epi)genetics and genomics, and the "integromics" is critically reliant on Einstein strengths in informatics and biostatistical analyses.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Translationally</strong>, human lung carcinogenesis biomarkers are being established by pairing laser capture microdissected lung with several unique, non-invasively collected surrogate specimens developed in the laboratory. These include mRNA expression signatures from brush-exfoliated buccal mucosa cells, microRNAs detected in exhaled breath condensate representing first reports for a new exhaled airway biomarker class, and exhaled metabolomic signatures. These airway-derived specimens continue to accrue from a sampling (currently n&gt;1000) of a population assembled in a lung cancer case-control context.&nbsp; The specimens are being studied with a view toward developing non-invasive assays in populations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The overall aim is to develop informative non-invasive risk profiling, preventive, and early disease detection strategies for the lung in human populations.</p>

Expert Summary

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;">A researcher and clinician, Dr. Spivack is developing tests for detecting lung cancer at the earliest possible stage&mdash;before it becomes fatal by spreading to other parts of the body. In one of several NIH-funded studies, his laboratory is working on a noninvasive, early-diagnosis test for lung cancer that detects particular genetic elements and chemicals in exhaled breath.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;">In addition to general pulmonary medicine, Dr. Spivack&rsquo;s clinical practice focuses on lung nodule and lung cancer diagnosis, diffuse interstitial lung diseases, and environmental lung diseases.</span></p>

Following this, he completed a pulmonary and critical care fellowship at Hofstra-North Shore LIJ School of Medicine in 2014 and an interventional pulmonary fellowship at Washington University in 2015.</p><p>Dr. Sadoughi's research interests are in developing and applying advanced technologies for early and minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases. These include lung cancers, airway disorders, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, respiratory failure and pleural diseases. His work has been published in journals including <em>Chest</em> and the <em>Journal of Molecular Medicine</em>, and he has made presentations at national and international medical meetings. One of his recent research studies focuses on the development of brachytherapy seeds (DaRT) using alpha radiation for the treatment of lung cancer, sponsored by Alpha Tau Ltd. In another study, he works with an international group of pulmonologists on the role of confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) in the diagnosis of different benign and malignant lung diseases. His work related to increased precision and accuracy of biopsy of peripheral lung nodules by intraprocedural 3D scanning in combination with ultrathin bronchoscopy has been published in the <em>Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology</em>. Another area of Dr. Sadoughi&rsquo;s research involves the synergy of local therapies such as cryotherapy with immunotherapy in the treatment of lung cancer. He has presented this exciting topic at the American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (AABIP) Conference in 2022.</p><p>Dr. Sadoughi is board certified in interventional pulmonology, pulmonary disease, critical care medicine and internal medicine. He is a member of professional societies such as the American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology, the World Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology, the American College of Chest Physicians, the American Thoracic Society and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer.
