Congratulations to Dr. Adams and the Lab, including Dr. Newell, Dr. Mandy Ford and our collaborator Dr. Joe Tector and his lab. We received an NIH R01 grant award for roughly $1 Million/year over the next five years for a project entitled "Optimizing Strategies to Overcome Kidney Xenograft Rejection". Every day, 14 people die on the waiting list for a life saving organ transplant. Our lab has already demonstrated the longest recorded pig-to-primate transplant survival in history, and with the support of the NIH, NIAID we look forward to continuing this breakthrough work which we hypothesize will translate to a potential solution for the global organ shortage, and meet the needs of patients on the waiting list.
