Kai has received an NIH/NINDS grant award through its R25/UE5 funding mechanism. Kai’s successful proposal outlined his upcoming research focused on elucidating the mechanism by which extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) protects mice from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a rodent model of multiple sclerosis (MS). This research will be conducted in the laboratory of Kai’s PSTP mentor, Dr. Nitin Karandikar.  The grant award provides 6 months of research support in the current fiscal year, with the opportunity to renew for 2 additional years of support toward PSTP training.  Congrats, Kai!
