The Program Project for Translational Research
The Program Project for Translational Research in Muscular Dystrophy receives a $1.6 million boost from FY07 Department of Defense funding.
A consortium of top laboratories working on translational research in Duchenne dystrophy has received a supplement to their FY2005 program project to expand their successful work in exon skipping research (anti-sense oligonucleotides). Laboratories participating in the DoD Program Project include Carrie Miceli of UCLA, Qi Lu of Carolinas Medical Institute, Terence Partridge of Children's National Medical Center, Paul Morcos of GeneTools Inc, Toshifumi Yokota of Children's National Medical Center, and Kanneboyina Nagaraju of Children's National Medical Center.
