In July, the Teresa Rapp Lab received $100K grant from the Donald E. And Deliah B. Baxter Foundation, a charitable institution established to advance medical and scientific research at institutions of higher learning. In the Rapp Lab, the funding will provide support for a new project modelling late stage fibrosis with light responsive biomaterials.
More information about the Baxters can be found on the Stanford Medicine website.
