\nDr. Boesen awarded grant from the Lupus Research Institute<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nErika Boesen, Ph.D., cellular and integrative physiology, has received a Novel Research Grant from the Lupus Research Institute (LRI). Grants are awarded to projects that live up to "the strictest definition of novel — wholly original, never-been-done-before," according to the institute. Dr. Boesen's project will explore the possibility of reducing iron levels to treat kidney damage, testing for the first time if an abnormal accumulation of iron in the kidney could cause damage and pointing the way for testing existing drugs that reduce iron levels as potential treatments for lupus nephritis.<\/p>\n
