Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1, AND PART III, LINE 1 The Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) is a nonprofit biomedical research institute focused on developing earlier diagnostics and smarter treatments by employing innovative advances arising from the human genome project and applying them to the development of diagnostics, prognostics and therapies for cancer, neurological disorders, diabetes and other complex diseases.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 IN 2014, THE TRANSLATIONAL GENOMICS RESEARCH INSTITUTE (TGEN) UNDERTOOK THE FOLLOWING NEW ACTIVITIES: (1) TGEN'S new CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) laboratory, the Dorrance Clinical Laboratory, received all required state and federal certifications, quickening its ability to provide physicians with genomic analysis that can help benefit their patients immediately. (2) TGEN ANIMAL HEALTH: AN INTERNAL RESEARCH PROJECT WITH A LOCAL ARIZONA FIRM TO EVALUATE THE PORTABILITY OF HUMAN DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS IN THE TREATMENT OF CANINE CANCER. TGEN IS ONE OF THE EARLY ADOPTERS OF THE CANINE MODEL AS A VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE HUMAN RESEARCH.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 3 IN 2014, THE TRANSLATIONAL GENOMICS RESEARCH INSTITUTE (TGEN) SOLD 50% OF ITS MEMBERSHIP INTEREST IN PMED MANAGEMENT, LLC (PMED) TO AN UNRELATED THIRD PARTY IN A JOINT VENTURE TRANSACTION FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMMERCIALIZING PERSONALIZED MEDICINE. TGEN RETAINED A 50% MEMBERSHIP INTEREST OF PMED WHICH IS RECORDED AS A PROGRAM RELATED INVESTMENT ON FORM 990, PART X, LINE 13. TGEN RECOGNIZED A $49.0 MILLION GAIN ON THE SALE OF ITS MAJORITY INTEREST. THIS GAIN IS REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART VIII, LINE 7.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A TGEN'S INTEGRATED CANCER GENOMICS DIVISION BRINGS TOGETHER BIOINFORMATICS, CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES AND BASIC RESEARCH TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE ATTACK ON CANCER WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF DEVELOPING NEW DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENTS. SPECIFIC AREAS OF FOCUS INCLUDE PROSTATE CANCER, MELANOMA, FAMILIAL BREAST CANCER, COLON CANCER, MULTIPLE MYELOMA AND RENAL TUMOR RESEARCH. KEEPING IN LINE WITH TGEN'S MISSION OF DEVELOPING EARLIER DIAGNOSTICS AND SMARTER TREATMENTS, WE HOPE THIS INTEGRATED APPROACH TO CANCER GENOME RESEARCH WILL HELP TO UNCOVER IMPORTANT INHERITED AND TUMOR DERIVED ALTERATIONS, WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH CANCER SUSCEPTIBILITY AND IMPORTANT TUMOR CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS PROGRESSION AND RESPONSE TO THERAPY.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B THE NEUROGENOMICS DIVISION HAS TWO GOALS, BOTH OF WHICH DERIVE FROM THE OVERARCHING MISSION OF THE TRANSLATIONAL GENOMICS RESEARCH INSTITUTE (TGEN). IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT EARLY INTERVENTION AND TREATMENT SAVES LIVES WHEN IT COMES TO NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES. THEREFORE, OUR FIRST GOAL IS TO IMPROVE THE ABILITY TO DIAGNOSE NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE BEFORE IT STRIKES. BECAUSE THESE DISEASES IMPACT SO MANY LIVES AROUND THE WORLD EITHER DIRECTLY (BY HAVING A DISEASE), OR INDIRECTLY (BY CARING FOR A LOVED ONE WITH A DISEASE), THE SECOND GOAL CENTERS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW 'SMART-DRUG' THERAPIES. THERE ARE FIVE LABS WITHIN THE DIVISION, ENCOMPASSING THE ENTIRE BREADTH OF NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C TGEN'S GENOTYPING TECHNOLOGY CENTER ANALYZES BITS OF DNA CALLED SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS (SNPS) WHICH GIVE RESEARCHERS THE POWER TO IDENTIFY DISEASE-CAUSING GENES, ASSOCIATIONS, AND DNA SIGNATURES, ALL OF WHICH HAVE PROFOUND IMPLICATIONS FOR DETECTION, PROGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION. THE SNP GENOTYPING CENTER OFFERS INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT ADDRESS THE REQUIREMENTS FOR FLEXIBILITY, SIMPLICITY, THROUGHPUT, ECONOMY AND ACCURACY.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D Introduction In FY14, our 12th year of operations, we experienced significant scientific and medical progress across multiple areas of the institute, many of which reached new heights and forged the potential for significantly greater achievements in the future. Unique to this past year is the crystallization of enterprise initiatives that will leverage internal discoveries and developments in genomics research and informatics tools: - TGen Animal Health: An internal research project with a local Arizona firm to evaluate the portability of human diagnostic tools in the treatment of canine cancer. TGen is one of the early adopters of the canine model as a vehicle to accelerate human research. - TGen's Center for Rare Childhood Disorders, which we announced late last year, has blossomed during FY14, providing parents an opportunity to discover answers about their children's diagnosis and potential Treatments. It was also a year when celebrities and pop culture collided in meaningful ways with TGen to highlight for the general public our goals of using genomic science to further the prevention, detection and treatment of the many significant diseases that plague humanity. The General Manager of the New York Yankees, Brian Cashman, joined our National Advisory Council for Pancreatic Cancer Research. Arizona State University's football team agreed to join us along with Riddell Sports in neurogenomic research that could help prevent serious sports injuries in the future. Miss Arizona, who struggled with her own childhood disorder, agreed to advocate for TGen's neurogenomic research into rare childhood diseases, and Wonder Woman actress Lynda CARTER advocated for our Alzheimer's research. She even convinced a fellow actor, Ashton Kutcher, to help spread the word on social media about our MindCrowd.org study. We are multiplying our investigative and scientific efforts. Thanks to Stand Up To Cancer, Dell, and The Ben & Catherine Ivy Foundation, 2014 will see patients enrolled into groundbreaking clinical trials in the study of melanoma and adult brain tumors, bringing to patients the very latest investigational treatments. Our new CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) laboratory - the Dorrance Clinical Laboratory - received all required state and federal certifications, quickening our ability to provide physicians with genomic analysis that can help benefit their patients immediately. Of particular note was the Sept. 6 approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of the drug Abraxane for treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. Physician-In-Chief Dr. Daniel Von Hoff is to be commended for his scientific tenacity and dedication to his patients in supervising the immensely complex international clinical trial involving more than 800 patients at more than 150 community and academic centers on three continents that resulted in this significant medical advancement. His study was published Oct. 16, 2014 in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine. In addition, the following overview provides a snapshot of recent progress in scientific publications, grants, contracts, philanthropy, education and outreach, media and community recognition.
Peer-Reviewed Laboratory Research Publications and Presentations As it has been from our very founding in 2002, the focus of our work remains the patient: but not the patient of the future. Our work is having an impact on patients in need today, many of who cannot afford to wait months or years for treatments that may work. Our work leverages the latest technology to survey the human genome at depths few could have imagined a decade ago. And our capacity to understand and leverage what the genome is telling us has never been greater. Our long-term hope is that doctors will leverage this information to inform decisions about patient care as the standard rather than the exception. While this is happening today on a limited basis, we envision a day in the not too distant future where it will happen for all patients across all diseases. Much of what we learn is published in leading scientific and medical journals, which continuously adds to the growing knowledge base of molecular research and medicine. In FY14, TGen researchers published their research results extensively in numerous scholarly peer-reviewed academic journals and through presentations at leading national and international conferences. These include publication in leading scientific journals such as New England Journal of Medicine, Nature Genetics, PLos One, the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, Journal of the American Medical Association, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, and a host of other disease-associated publications.

Clinical Research / Clinical Trials TGen has a direct clinical research site through a strategic alliance with the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center (VGPCC) Clinical Trials Program at Scottsdale Healthcare. Dr. Daniel Von Hoff, TGen's Physician-in-Chief, also serves as the program's Chief Scientific Officer. The program focuses on clinical trials with targeted agents and genomics-based individualized therapy and with an initial focus on cancer, allows the unique opportunity for TGen to transition its laboratory-based research to patient care centered on individualized therapy. The program brings new clinical research into the community, to those patients who would otherwise have to travel someplace else for access to new therapies or prevention agents. According to the National Institutes of Health, only 3% of adults with cancer are participating in clinical trials. A recent study shows that if given the opportunity and access to clinical trials, 63% of the population would participate, according to a survey by the Charlton Research Co. With more than 50 active clinical trials for advanced and/or rare cancers, the program is one of the leading centers for Phase I oncology trials in the nation. Clinical trials with agents directed at specific targets in patients' tumors were launched in November 2005. These clinical trials give options that did not exist before to Phoenix-area patients as well as patients from all over the country. The program conducts clinical trials across a number of cancer types. Further development of cancer specific divisions in pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, leukemia, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma are under development. In addition to clinical trials, a molecular profiling pilot study has been designed and implemented to test the hypothesis that treatment with a cancer agent selected based on the unique molecular profile of a patient's tumor may be more beneficial than a treatment selected based on the specific cancer type. Patient participation in clinical trials is a necessary component to the research process. As noted earlier, only 3% of adults with cancer are participating in clinical trials. At the VGPCC Clinical Trials Program, the clinical trial participation rate is a remarkable 60%. Patient participation in clinical trials includes: - 125 visits per month - 35-45 new patients per month - 400-600 patient samples collected per month FY14 Highlights In July 2013, the Side-Out Foundation's breast cancer pilot study showed that cancer patients do better when their treatment is guided by molecular profiling. Specifically, 52 percent of patients with advanced breast cancer received clinical benefit - meaning their disease was controlled for a longer time - when their cancer was treated based on addressing the abnormal proteins in their tumor. Each patient's treatment was "personalized," meaning that the therapy they received was based on their individual tumor biology. In September 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Abraxane for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, following 7 years of rigorous clinical trials. Abraxane, the brand name for nab-paclitaxel, was approved for use in combination with gemcitabine, the previous standard drug therapy, following a large-scale international clinical trial headed by Dr. Daniel D. Von Hoff, TGen Physician-in-Chief. This is a new standard for treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer that could become the backbone for other new treatment regimens. Dr. Von Hoff was the Principal Investigator of MPACT (Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Clinical Trial), the Phase III clinical study of 861 cancer patients at 121 sites in North America, Europe and Australia. In September 2013, Scottsdale Healthcare and the TGen initiated the first-in-human clinical trial for pancreatic cancer patients using a compound derived from a plant known as "Thunder God vine." The first patient to participate in this clinical trial received treatment at Scottsdale Healthcare's VPCCC, a partnership of Scottsdale Healthcare and TGen. The Thunder God vine (Tripterygium wilfordii), also known as lei gong teng, is native to China, Japan and Korea. Traditional Chinese medicine has used the vine for more than 2,000 years as a treatment for everything from fever to inflammation and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. In February 2014, TGen and Mayo CLINIC personalized drug treatments using genomic sequencing technologies for patients with cholangiocarcinoma. Potential new treatment approaches are being validated to develop new tests that physicians can use to guide therapy for this aggressive cancer of the bile ducts that progresses quickly and is difficult to treat. Clinically important findings suggest that targeting the EGFR and FGFR cellular pathways may benefit thousands of patients with this disease, according to the study published in the journal PLOS Genetics. Half of the patients treated in this study responded to either ponatinib (typically used for certain types of leukemia) or pazopinib (a kidney cancer drug), depending on the genetic alterations identified through sequencing. In June 2014, TGen and SHC BEGAN TO study a new cancer immunotherapy to see if it can successfully help patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The Phase 2B clinical trial of CRS-207 and GVAX Pancreas vaccines opened at SHC, where cancer patients are treated with promising new drugs. Participants in the study, named ECLIPSE (Efficacy of Combination Listeria/GVAX Immunotherapy in the Pancreatic Cancer Setting), will be randomized so patients receive only the CRS-207 vaccine, or that vaccine combined with the GVAX Pancreas vaccine and low doses of cyclophosphamide. A third group of patients will receive a standard chemotherapy.
Grant Support In additional to philanthropic donations and research contracts, grant funding is an important funding source for research. In FY14, TGen investigators submitted 142 grants totaling $99M. TGen was awarded 13 grants, totaling $2.3M, with an additional 76 grants pending and under review totaling $42M. Additionally, TGen received $6.3M from 2012 and 2013 pending grants. TGen's success rate currently rests at 22 percent of total grants submitted, placing the Institute nearly 4 percent higher than the national average (NIH overall success rate). FY14 Highlights a) A four-year grant from the Department of Defense totaling $938,715 to Dr. Paul Keim to conduct genomic profiles of the various near-neighbor forms of the pathogen B. pseudomallei, a biological warfare agent. b) Five-year grant from NIH totaling $663,574 to Dr. Daniel Von Hoff to identify potential glycomarkers for pancreatic and breast cancer in an effort toward early cancer detection. c) Five-year grant from the National Science Foundation totaling $499,759 to Dr. Lance Price to study microbial biodiversity in relation to soil carbon cycles. d) Five-year grant from NIH totaling $974,565 to Dr. Matt Huentelman to leverage our genome-wide and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic data, as well as transcriptome and proteome datasets, to map novel risk loci for late onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) that are acting either in epistasis with, or independently of, the APOE E4 allele, which has previously been identified as the strongest LOAD risk signal within the human genome. e) Three-year grant from the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory/Porton Down totaling $558,186 to Dr. Paul Keim to study the temporal molecular response of Yersinia pestis (plague) to survival in aerosols. f) Five-year grant from NIH totaling $479,304 to Dr. Dave Duggan to continue and expand the international, multi-site Colon Cancer Family Registry Cohort (CCFRC) program, which now is comprised of more than 10,000 families and individuals at increased risk of colorectal and other cancers. g) One-year grant from NIH totaling $259,267 to Dr. Bridget Barker to study the possible genetic origins of Valley Fever, specifically, to significantly expand our knowledge of Coccidioides pathogenesis mechanisms, which may lead to novel vaccine candidates and/or new therapeutic options. h) Two-year grant from the Michael J. Fox Foundation totaling $242,028 to Dr. Kendall Jensen to investigate RNA biomarkers in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid that might better diagnose Parkinson's disease. i) Four-year grant from NIH totaling $93,492 to Dr. Dave Duggan to identify multiple susceptibility loci that may better quantify the proportion of variation in complex diseases explained by genetic variants, identify population-specific loci and provide insights into shared molecular pathways that will more efficiently direct subsequent prevention and treatment strategies in the diverse U.S. population. j) Up to Two-year grant from SU2C funding up to $125,000 to Dr. Jeffrey Trent (Dr. Richard Lo, UCLA), for the Phillip A.

Education TGen's science, education, and community outreach initiatives are designed to assist in the growth of the bioscience workforce in Arizona, increase public fluency in translational medicine, and build an accessible community presence. FY14 highlights include: 45 Arizona students - selected from nearly 550 Arizona applicants - participated in TGen's flagship, paid summer internship program, Helios Scholars at TGen. The Program is a 25-year partnership between TGen and the local Helios Education Foundation, an education-focused philanthropic organization. Every TGen division hosted Helios Scholars for hands-on experiences: grants and research administration, environmental health and safety, cancer, neurological disease, diabetes and infectious disease. Cohort demographics: 58 percent attended colleges or universities in Arizona; 22 percent self-identified as races/ethnicities underrepresented in the biosciences; 27 percent were in high school, 71 percent in college and 2 percent in graduate or medical school. TGen engaged the nearly 350 Helios Scholars alumni for the third annual alumni networking reception in July at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel. Alumni provide guidance to each new summer intern class via a panel discussion, sit on the internship selection committee and act as ambassadors for the biosciences within their social and professional networks. Keeping them engaged with Arizona and with TGen is a major program goal to ensure the Program delivers on the mission to grow the bioscience workforce in Arizona. The Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation awarded TGen funding for an expanded third year of the Ivy Neurological Sciences Internship Program, a paid internship program now supporting two high school students for paid summer internships, two undergraduates for academic year paid internships, and one medical school candidate for a full calendar year paid internship in neurological disease research and a clinical training module. The program has expanded each year over three years to support extended, immersive training experiences for top student talent. For the third and final year of the Duke-TGen education partnership, TGen worked directly with Duke University faculty to recruit an undergraduate interested in bioinformatics and genomics to TGen for a 10-week summer internship. The TGen-Duke Biomedical Futures program broadened awareness of TGen nationally and set the stage for future faculty collaborations. The Duke student has continued to work remotely from North Carolina on a TGen computational biology research project. Outside of these programs, TGen hosted approximately 10 additional summer interns, and 50+ academic year interns in FY14 throughout every TGen research division including laboratory and clinical research, research administration, mathematics and computational biology research.
Public Outreach In FY14 TGen hosted over 45 public tours (nearly 500 attendees) for students, teachers, community organizations and the general public. Tours typically include a presentation providing an overview of the Institute and information on translational medicine. TGen took a leadership role in the Arizona Science and Engineering Fair (AzSEF) in FY14 by chairing the judging committee responsible for recruiting, planning and coordinating judges for the over one thousand elementary, junior and senior division students and their projects competing in the state fair. The chairs recruited more than 350 judges. More than a dozen TGen faculty and staff volunteered as judges for the event, held March 31-April 2 at the Phoenix Convention Center. AzSEF sends high school level winners to represent Arizona at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. This year, BASIS Scottsdale high school student Shrey Gupta, a 2013 Helios Scholar and ongoing academic year intern mentored by TGen's Dr. Seungchan Kim, presented his TGen research at the 2014 Intel ISEF in Los Angeles this May and won a $1,000 Third Place Grand Award in Computer Science and an Arizona State University New American University Provost Scholarship. TGen also developed an AzSEF Special Award: the TGen Excellence in Biomedical Research Award, which recognized two outstanding high school student projects, focusing on research and technology to unravel the genetic underpinnings of human diseases. Winners toured TGen laboratories and ate lunch with Dr. Trent and the team of three TGen postdoctoral fellows that selected them for the award. Students from BASIS Scottsdale public charter school and public Chandler High School won the inaugural award. For a second year, TGen participated in the Lesson2Life teacher-training program offered by the Arizona K12 Center. Five teachers visited the Institute for a genomics and biotechnology update, a laboratory tour and interaction with a panel of high school and undergraduate interns. For a third year, as part of the annual Arizona SciTech Festival, TGen hosted nearly 40 local educators on March 1 for a tour, research update and reception called "TGen for Teachers." Over a dozen faculty and staff participated in the program. In addition to inspiring teachers and enhancing their exposure to cutting edge research and technology, the event helped build TGen's reputation as an accessible community partner committed to education. Also in support of the Arizona SciTech Festival, TGen participated in future development of the Festival through the "Meeting of the Minds" planning meeting at the Arizona Innovation Summit, provided panelists for the Arizona Internships Panel, and hosted a student blogger for interviews with scientists and their interns. Also, in March 2014 during the Phoenix Union High School District spring break, TGen engaged three local high school students from the Be a Leader Foundation for the annual Shadow a Professional Day. Each public school student spent a workday with a TGen scientific research associate. TGen believes it has a responsibility to offer workforce knowledge and expertise to our education community partners. In this spirit, TGen is represented on several boards and working groups including but not limited to: Arizona Science Center Pathways Grant Advisory Board; Paradise Valley Unified School District Center for Research in Engineering, Science and Technology (CREST) Advisory Board; Tempe Union High School District Career and Technical Education Evaluation Committee; Deer Valley Unified School District Career and Technical Education Evaluation Committee; Phoenix Healthcare Sector Partnership; Arizona Bioindustry Association Marketing and Communication Committee; Intel ISEF Phoenix Local Arrangements Committee (LAC); Center for the Future of Arizona: STEM Diploma Project Advisory Committee.
Media / Public Recognition As noted in years past, the overall goal of TGen's media efforts is to build a strong and compelling communications tool set to tell TGen's story immediately to audiences that, over time, will be increasingly aware of TGen and what makes it unique and essential. To the end, TGen continually pursues earned media exposure for the institute's research activities. In FY14, TGen received just over 1,000 earned media mentions, highlighted by: - In December 2013, Drs.
