Congratulations to Alexandra Piotrowski-Daspit, PhD, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering and Internal Medicine, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Division, on receiving a grant for $220,000 in funding from Emily’s Entourage (EE), an innovative 501(c)3 that accelerates research for new treatments and a cure for the final 10% of people with cystic fibrosis (CF). The grant supports research focused on non-viral nucleic acid delivery to provide more effective treatment options for people with nonsense mutations of CF. The project, titled, “Multi-organ targeted non-viral nucleic acid delivery for CF nonsense mutations,” aims to explore the development of polymeric vehicles to improve the delivery of nucleic acid-based therapeutics to target tissues and cells in the body, primarily the lung and the gastrointestinal system.
