Congratulations to @JSGSPP's Dr. Amy Zarzeczny, co-principal investigator on this incredible interdisciplinary team researching ways to fast-track the development of cell and gene therapies for patients with chronic lung diseases! 👏
A $24M investment will accelerate Canadian research into cell and gene therapies for chronic lung diseases.
Over the next six years, an interdisciplinary team led by Dr. Bernard Thébaud, professor at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine and senior scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, will work to move promising therapies closer to clinical practice.
The research will address barriers related to the development, approval and accessibility of these therapies across Canada. In parallel, the team will conduct two clinical trials of therapies developed in Dr. Thébaud’s lab for serious lung diseases affecting infants.
Awarded through the Transformation stream of the New Frontiers in Research Fund, the grant will support a team from The Ottawa Hospital, CHEO and the University of Ottawa.
