LSU physician receives grant to train researchers
An LSU physician has received a $10.6 million grant from the National Institutes of health to train researchers in the relatively new field of translational research.
The grant, from NIHs Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence, will pay Dr. Augusto Ochoa the LSU Health Sciences Centers director of tumor immunology to teach the researchers how to translate knowledge learned through basic science research into new methods of diagnosing, treating, curing, or preventing disease.
LSU announced Friday that Ochoa had been named interim Director of the Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, and had received the NIH grant earlier this year.
Ochoa came to LSU in 1997 from the National Cancer Institute, where he had been head of the immunotherapy and signal transduction laboratories. He is also a pediatrician.
