NYStar Grant Enables NYUCD to
Recruit Senior AIDS Researcher
|
NYUCD has received a $750,000 award from the New York State Office
of Science Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR) Faculty Development
Program, which assists universities in the recruitment and retention
of leading research faculty in science and technology fields with
strong commercial potential. The NYStar grant has enabled NYUCD to
recruit and renovate laboratory space for Dr. Daniel Malamud, a senior
scientist specializing in anti-HIV agents and oral-based diagnostics,
which would be used to detect multiple oral pathogens, including HIV
and bioterror agents. The research may also contribute to the development
of new anti-HIV drugs. (See related
