Congratulations to Jesse Benza, Sammatha Kruger, Ali Michelotti and Kian Rahbari for each being awarded Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URCA) Research Grants to support their research projects in the Weimbs lab. Each award is in the amount of $750.
MCDB professor Thomas Weimbs and his team have developed a targeted drug delivery method that could potentially slow the progression of polycystic kidney disease. Weimbs and his team have found a method that enables a class of antibodies, immunoglobulin-A (IgA), to penetrate the cyst walls in PKD kidneys. The strategy opens up the possibility of repurposing a large number of existing drugs for PKD therapy. The researchers’ results appear in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
The latest paper from the Weimbs lab, titled "Exploitation of the Polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor for Antibody Targeting to Renal Cyst Lumens in Polycystic Kidney Disease", just came out in print in the June 19 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Click below for the PDF file.
