This week we got great news, when Sigrid Juselius Foundation announced their grants (link). Yes, we got the continuation and second year for our last years' project. With this funding we are albe to cover salaries partly for 2 Ph.D. students and most importantly, we will be able to unravel new transporter-mediated drug delivery routes into the brain and within the brain to specific cell types (microglia). And hopefully this all will then some day lead to better drugs for different brain diseases and relief for the patient suffering from those.
Like, one colleague who contact me recently said after couple of emails: "When you do crack the BBB problem and show it in dogs/monkeys please call me since as you know this is one of the biggest opportunities in CNS drug development!" Well, we definitely will try our best and with the prestigious support from foundations, we are at least getting closer!
