Background

The Bauer Research Foundation (BRF) was established to promote the humane treatment of pets affected with cancer.   We are committed to promoting the health and well-being of animals and  strengthening the human-animal bond as part of a total wellness paradigm. Our maxim is “Strengthening the human-animal bond.”

June 2009– Case study in dogs http://www.springerlink.com/content/a1224t6u5364n257/

My work has resulted in three United States Patents (one pending) and over twenty-five foreign patents which pertain to these compounds. Specifically, I developed a nitric oxide donor, nitrosylcobalamin (NO-Cbl) based on vitamin B12, that functions as a “Trojan Horse.” Animal experiments have shown that NO-Cbl preferentially targets cancer cells with minimal side effects to non-malignant cells. This research work was recently featured in the Cleveland Clinic Magazine in an article about “Smart Medicine” as well as the 2006 Annual Report of the Cleveland Clinic.

http://gozips.uakron.edu/~jbauer/summary 08.pdf

The BRF is working to provide NO-Cbl for research use only.

  

The Bauer Research Foundation is located on the Akron Innovation Campus.  411 Wolf Ledges Pkwy, Suite 105, Akron, Ohio 44311.

In 2003, the National Cancer Institute’s Center for Cancer Research (CCR) launched the Comparative Oncology Program (COP) http://ccr.cancer.gov/resources/cop/ to help researchers better understand the biology of cancer and to improve the assessment of novel treatments for humans by treating pet animals-primarily cats and dogs-with naturally occurring cancer, giving these animals the benefit of cutting-edge research and therapeutics. Spontaneous cancers in dogs and cats are an underused group of naturally occurring malignancies that share many features with human cancers.

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH

Staff Scientist                                                        9/2007- 12/2008

Center for Hematology & Oncology Molecular Therapeutics

I was responsible for drug design and development of novel drugs with an emphasis on targeted drug-delivery. My fields of specialization included signal transduction pathways/apoptosis, cobalamin chemistry, molecular biology, oncology research, and the biochemistry of nitric oxide.  I worked with many leaders in the oncology community to strengthen the focus and presentation of my research.  I actively pursued grant funding and collaborated with several intra-institutional and national research laboratories. I published in high-profile international scientific journals and give many presentations yearly tailored for a variety of audiences.

Center for Hematology & Oncology Molecular Therapeutics

Research Fellow - Immunology               10/1999-10/2000

I was a post-doctoral fellow in the Immunology Department. I learned and practiced many molecular biology techniques in my research project which focused on the role of NFAT in IFNAR1 signaling. 

 

                                                                   

Walsh University, North Canton, OH

Adjunct Associate Professor                              9/1996-9/1999

The University of Akron, Akron, OH

Graduate Assistant/Researcher                        8/1994-10/1999

I was a graduate student pursuing my doctorate in Chemistry. My research focused on the biochemistry of nitric oxide, chemotherapeutic drug design, diabetes research, wound healing research, invasive/non-invasive surgical procedures, polymer synthesis/controlled release studies, and animal studies using rats and mice. My graduate research experience resulted in the publication of five peer-reviewed research articles and a United States Patent. 

 

United National Bank & Trust Co. (UNIZAN Bank), Canton, OH

Assistant Trust Administrator                            9/1991-8/1994

While attending Walsh University, I worked in the Trust Department's Employee Benefits section. I was responsible for the maintenance of various employee benefit trusts which included 401(k), MPP plans, PSP plans, and pension plans. I was proficient in financial analysis software, Lotus, Excel. I prepared monthly income statements, profit/loss allocations and year-end projections.

RESEARCH: Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center researchers developed a new cancer drug that disguises itself as vitamin B-12 to trick cancer cells into accepting nitric oxide, a powerful cancer killer. The drug, called nitrosylcobalamin, is so promising that the National Cancer Institute is fast-tracking its development through its Rapid Application to Development program – the only new drug from anywhere so honored in 2006.
