Research Grant Program
We Provide Funding for Research on Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection to Advance Care and Save Lives
Funding from The JRF allowed my lab to generate preliminary data and organize an international collaborative network to define the molecular triggers for acute aortic dissections, with the goal of identifying drugs to block these dissections. We went on to receive a 7.5 milllion dollar Leducq Foundation award, indicating a large return on investment for JRF research funding.”
