MU gives grants for biomedical research
Tuesday, the University of Missouri gave six grants to help forward biomedical research projects.
The Coulter Translational Partnership Program awarded about $600,000 to 11 researchers.
The grants will help six different team projects including identifying tuberculosis, early breast cancer detection, engineered knee cartilage and more.
Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin said the grants help research become working technologies in the health field.
Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, University of Missouri: “This kind of award lets you take that basic discovery which has great promise but no real application yet, to a point where it becomes useful to us personally.”
Mizzou is one of only 15 institutions in the country to have this program.
