Congratulations Dr Jim Harris who has received a competitive Rebecca
L. Cooper Medical Research Foundation grant.
The Foundation Grant worth $22,000 will be used towards a new piece
of equipment, a Direct Detect Spectrometer from Millipore.
The Rebecca L Cooper Medical Research
Foundation directs funds towards high quality research and high quality
researchers to support the direct costs of research, typically tangibles
including laboratory equipment and consumables.
“We’re really pleased with the outcome as this is the first time
we’ve applied for one of these grants,” said Chief Investigator Dr Harris.
Dr Sarah Jones and Professor Eric Morand are co-investigators on
the grant proposal, "New Therapeutic Targets in Rheumatological
Diseases".
“The new equipment will allow us to measure protein levels in
biological samples, including clinical samples, serum, etc. much more quickly
and efficiently than previously,” added Dr Harris.
The machine will be used in the laboratory’s study of
rheumatological diseases, including lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
