Looking for better asthma treatments

(University of Akron) America's 26 million asthmatics may be able to breathe a sigh of relief, thanks to Dr. Sailaja Paruchuri, who has received a $1.9 million R01 Grant from NIH-NIAID. She seeks to understand how asthma symptoms and other inflammatory conditions are aggravated by examining the link between two lipid mediators formed from fatty acids. Paruchuri hopes that uncovering the mechanisms of this process will lead to new discoveries for treatment of common respiratory disorders and allergies.
