Wolfgang Liedtke, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine (Neurology) and Center for Translational Neuroscience, has been named a 2012 Harrington Scholar-Innovator grant recipient.
The awards, funded by The Harrington Discovery Institute at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, support the nation's best physician-scientists and their efforts to accelerate promising drug discoveries into novel treatments for patients. Dr. Liedtke's project will focus on the development of a new class of drugs that inhibit the pain response in skin with potential applications in painful skin conditions including sunburn and wound pain.
The 10 recipients are awarded up to $200,000 over two years in addition to access to a support center, where industry experts will provide critical commercialization assistance and financial resources to form the discoveries into products.
