GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Dr. David Bradley, an immunologist at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences, recently received a Centers of Research Excellence grant of $700,000 from the North Dakota Department of Commerce to continue research on avian influenza antibodies that could help poultry farmers effectively combat outbreaks of the disease.
Bradley's lab is working collaboratively on the project with a local company, Avianax (which develops antibodies for human and animal diseases such as West Nile and the avian flu, respectively), which is providing a 2-to-1 cash match for this research. . .
