QUEBEC CITY, Oct. 12, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - David Guay, Research Director of Feldan Therapeutics (hereafter "Feldan") announced that his collaborator, Dr. Paul McCray from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine (hereafter "UI"), was awarded a $2 million (USD) grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The funds will be used to carry out a three-year project using Feldan's technology, the Feldan Shuttle, to deliver CRISPR nucleases to airway epithelia. Upon the achievement of certain milestones, this project could lead to an additional grant of $2 million (USD) and a two-year extension to complete in vivo studies. A key component of this grant is awarded to Feldan to optimize its technology for pulmonary use. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
