Alicia Hulbert, MD, is Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at UIC. Her research is focused on the field of cancer epigenetics and DNA methylation in lung cancer. Her Cancer Epigenetic Lung Liquid Biopsy laboratory (CELLI) is developing and clinically applying molecular biomarkers specifically DNA methylation to facilitate early cancer detection, improve the accuracy of prognosis, and tailor treatment approaches to each individual. She has successfully developed, corrected, validated and patented an ultrasensitive method for early detection of lung cancer based on the findings of DNA methylation changes in genes obtained from bodily fluids (blood, sputum) using methylation specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in situ methylation specific primer (MSP), and nanotechnology-based detection methods methylation on beads (MOB). This has led to molecular detection of cancer epigenetic changes as a method for early detection of lung cancer. Her research centers on utilizing these findings to improve the management of patients through the development of diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive epigenetic biomarkers in populations with health disparities. Her collaboration with fellow Cancer Center member Ian Papautsky, PhD, the Richard and Loan Hill Professor in the Colleges of Engineering and Medicine at UIC and co-director of the NSF Center for Advanced Design and Manufacturing of Integrated Microfluidics, received the MPI/R01 Development Award in Translational Oncology.
