testing being done at Jewish. How very Cool!

Update on H1N1

Very interesting news:  

 

NIH Announces Results of

A.R.R.A. Grants

 

As part of the Recovery Act the NIH was able to fund a number

of new grants.  Fortunately a number of these were for

IPF research. The complete listing can be found at:  http://projectreporter.nih.gov/reporter.cfm .

(At the

site check the NIH Recovery Act box and then enter the search term

“pulmonary fibrosis.)  The largest grant ($5,987,215) went to Drs.

Schwartz (National Jewish), Naftali Kaminski (University

of Pittsburgh) et. al. to study:  Lung

Genomics.  Both principal investigators are members of

our Medical Advisory Board.  The next largest award went

to ez MD (University of Michigan)

et.al. for:  CTRIP:  Molecular Phenotypes

of Rapidly Progressive Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

 

Two other grants of note went to two investigators who have

previously received grants from the Foundation which helped provide the groundwork for their

NIH grants.  Imre Noth MD (University of Chicago)

for:  Genome Wide Sequencing Study in PF, and

Tager MD (Massachusetts General Hospital)

for:  LPA Pathway in Lung Fibrosis:  Novel

Mediators and New Therapeutic Targets.

 

Congratulations to these and all the other recipients. 

Hopefully this will help increase our knowledge of the

disease and ultimately lead to successful treatments!
