The Jim Ayers Institute for Precancer Detection and Diagnosis was inaugurated on July 1, 2005 with a five-year, $10 million gift from Mr Ayers. The Ayers Institute is directed by Dr. Daniel Liebler. The goals of the Ayers Institute are to identify new markers to detect colorectal cancer at its earliest stages and to guide therapy of established cancer. The Ayers Institute will employ new proteomics technologies developed at Vanderbilt to detect protein markers in blood and tissue specimens. Together with the Mass Spectrometry Research Center, and the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, the Ayers Institute will provide the technology base for using new proteomics technologies for early detection and personalized therapy of cancer.
