The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute awarded OMRF researcher Courtney Griffin, Ph.D., received a seven-year grant to pursue research into blood vessel function and factors that lead to uncontrolled bleeding.
“Seven years is like paradise to a scientist," Griffin said. "It allows us to address questions and take our research in new directions we couldn’t have before. This will give us the opportunity to dig in on basic science questions that could lead to new drugs and therapies for devastating conditions.”
