Challenge
The Cygnus team faced the intricate challenge of supporting the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the National Cancer Institute. The task was to review scientific processes and proposals, manage programs related to cancer epidemiology and genetics, and contribute significantly to budgetary and strategic planning.
Solution
The Cygnus team provided comprehensive epidemiologic and scientific support, reviewed, and advised on research studies and funding proposals, and enhanced scientific management processes. The Cygnus team played a pivotal role in leadership meetings and division events, ensuring a coherent and collaborative approach to research and division activities.
Benefit
Through our efforts, Cygnus has not only streamlined the review of scientific data and processes but has also impacted the division’s strategic planning and budget management. Their contributions have enhanced the division’s ability to evaluate legacy biospecimen collections and advise on postmortem donations, thereby aiding in the management of resources and influencing research directions. Their expertise also supports the operational objectives of DCEG, fostering a culture of excellence in scientific inquiry and management processes.
Pioneering Infectious Disease Research Initiatives at NCI
Challenge
Solution
Benefit
Challenge
Cygnus is tasked with leading critical research initiatives in the field of infectious diseases, particularly focusing on COVID-19 and malaria. The primary challenge lies in developing effective surveillance and treatment strategies for these diseases, which require constant innovation and adaptation to evolving pathogens and global health trends.
Solution
Dr. Woodford, Cygnus Senior Scientific Clinician has spearheaded several key projects, including a COVID-19 Surveillance project to track virus spread and mutations, the Vivax TBV/IVM/ITM program aimed at combating domestic transmission of malaria, and the TransCHMI program to coordinate international clinical trials and research on malaria. Our approach is multidisciplinary, integrating clinical expertise with robust research methodologies.
Benefit
The impact of Dr. Woodford’s work is profound, providing pivotal insights into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases. His research efforts have led to the development of strategic collaborations and partnerships, enhancing the global response to infectious disease outbreaks, and paving the way for innovative health solutions that can be implemented across various healthcare systems.
Innovative Approaches in Pre-Clinical Research and Biostatistics

Challenge
Richard Cook, PhD, is confronted with the intricate task of developing models for smoking behavior (onset, quit attempts, and relapses) and assessing the risk of oral cancer development. The challenge is to provide accurate, real-time data modeling to inform cancer susceptibility and failure times, which is crucial for effective prevention and treatment strategies.
Solution
Dr. Cook has made significant strides by deriving methods for marginalized transition models and formulating estimation strategies for oral cancer models under modern inference observation. This includes a detailed review of data structure for the oral cancer study, ensuring that the modeling approach and conceptual phase I sampling strategies are robust and effective.
Benefit
The benefits of Dr. Cook’s research are multifaceted, enhancing the understanding of smoking behaviors and advancing oral cancer modeling. His work aids in developing strategic assessments for cancer risk and tailoring treatment using eligibility samples. Additionally, it offers innovative two-phase designs for cure rate models to efficiently estimate smoking cessation success and oral cancer susceptibility, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes.
