A fresh approach to improve COVID-19 and treatment for other lung disease and innovative research on rheumatoid arthritis and cancer therapy are three areas of Flinders University research to receive a funding boost this week.
Associate Professor Jillian Carr, with Flinders colleagues, critical care medicine and respiratory physiology researchers Associate Professors Shailesh Bihari and Dani-Louise Dixon, will lead a project entitled ‘Modulating COVID-19 disease by targeting virus and virus-induced responses through pharmaceutical and mechanical ventilation strategies: SARS-CoV-2 S-protein, ACE2 and TMPRSS2’ assisted by $628,856 (APP2003683).
“With the unprecedented devastation of COVID-19, this new study will strive to find better treatments and systems to manage lung disease, and improve patient survival and recovery,” says chief investigator Associate Professor Carr.
