Some of you may have heard about our recent funding success. We, along with
researchers at the UC San Francisco and Merck were awarded $25million over five
years to work towards finding a cure for HIV. Our joint project with UCSF
was one of three such awards funded by the NIH. Each research team will
use the funds for research efforts directly devoted to finding a cure for
HIV.
While this is one of the largest funding efforts devoted to this endeavor to date,
there are many other diseases and maladies that remain poorly funded. Many
of these including immune therapies for cancer and how to combat emerging
tropical diseases encroaching into South Florida remain "orphan" causes and
could use similar funding as we have received for our HIV studies. So
please remember to help us in our quest to devote resources to these problems as
well.
