Funding, News and Announcements

DEBRA Austria and LifeArc are partnering to commit £2.5 million to fund projects to repurpose therapeutics that can be brought rapidly to patients suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

Expressions-of-interest (EOI) are now being invited from research groups based at academic institutions or hospitals. There will be a priority focus on chronic inflammation, fibrosis and cancer initiation in EB. Projects should involve therapeutics that can be repurposed or repositioned, and are based on at least a strong non-clinical data package with a clear path to clinical development.

Full call details are available here.
