2013 TAPTIMAT CT³N Award Recipients
The Center for Targeted Therapeutics and Translational Nanomedicine (CT³N) of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics (ITMAT) announces its second round of successful applications for Pilot Grants.
The mission of these grants is to support early-stage experimental preclinical studies in targeted therapeutics and thus assist investigators in obtaining key data to seek extramural funding. CT³N is directed by Drs. Vladimir Muzykantov and Andrew Tsourkas.
