## Abstract

The PK/PD Shared Resource was renamed to the Bioanalytics, Metabolomics and Pharmacokinetics Shared 
Resource (BMPK) in 2015 as a result of strategic planning process and discussions at the Shared Resource 
Directors Committee. The re-organization has allowed BPMK to offer a more comprehensive array of services 
that now includes targeted metabolomic analyses. The overall goal of BMPK is to provide specialized 
bioanalytical and modeling expertise that enhance scientific interaction and productivity within the Roswell Park 
Comprehensive Cancer Center (Roswell Park). BMPK maintains a wide range of state-of-the-art instruments 
that are typically outside the reach of individual investigators. BMPK has established 46 Standard Operating 
Procedures for method development and validation, equipment maintenance and calibration, sample inventory 
and tracking, staff training, and quality assurance. BMPK developed several new bioanalytical methods that 
supported various clinical trials and basic research studies for all five CCSG programs during the current 
reporting period. These assays include tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, topoisomerase inhibitors, 
gemcitabine, taxanes, doxorubicin, sorafenib, finasteride, dutasteride and enzalutamide. BMPK also offers 
bioanalytical assays to support chemoprevention studies, such as erlotinib for the prevention of lung cancer 
and lignans for prevention of breast cancer. BMPK served a total of 42 Roswell users, of which 39 (96%) were 
CCSG members. The Specific Aims of BMPK are: 1) To provide state-of-the-art support for discovery-based 
research, pre-clinical/clinical drug development and translational pharmacology through generation of high 
quality bioanalytical data, metabolomic profiling and PK/PD modeling of results; 2) To provide a highly 
collaborative approach to utilization of shared resources to maximize efficiency and data outcomes for 
researchers; 3) To co-integrate BMPK results with those of other shared resources to advance our overall 
understanding and knowledge of translationally-related clinical cancer outcomes. BMPK is critical to the drug 
development/clinical trial effort at Roswell Park. We plan to maintain state-of-the-art technology to address the 
research interests of investigators; routinely implement fast LC-MS/MS techniques to improve overall 
throughput of studies; expand the number of validated assays and targeted metabolomic profiles while 
implementing untargeted metabolomics and proteomics; strengthen educational and training efforts; and 
develop essential PK/PD models and simulations to relate temporal relationships of drug and biomarker 
concentrations, antitumor response to different dosing strategies to optimize efficacy while minimizing toxicity 
in an effort to translate drug combination therapies from bench to bedside.
