By Georgia State University
Dr. Jian-Dong Li, a professor and director of the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at Georgia State University and a Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar in Inflammation and Immunity, has received a five-year, $1.6 million federal grant to develop novel anti-inflammatory therapeutics against middle-ear infections.
The grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders of the National Institutes of Health will support Li’s drug development goals of identifying novel therapeutic targets and further developing non-antibiotic therapeutics to treat middle-ear infections by using drug repurposing.
