2024 · Form 990, Part III · the three largest programs by expenseA long standing research project at the University of Texas at Austin under the direction of Dr. Brent Iverson is in the field of engineering proteases. One aim of the project is to discover engineered proteases that will serve as more efficient, next generation antibody replacements. The engineered proteases will cleave the protein disease target in a catalytic fashion, thus requiring much less drug and enabling far lower doses and potentially fewer side effects. This project has resulted in the generation of a technology platform to support the development of protease therapeutics called…
A research project at Baylor College of Medicine in gene and protein therapy focuses on inappropriate cell division and cell death within the human body. Much of the work is devoted to intraocular angiogenesis, with particular attention to: (1) the signals that control this process, (2) the development of animal models of human ocular disease, and (3) development of potential therapies. New targets have been identified and potential therapeutic agents are being developed and tested for the treatment of wet AMD, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Retinopathy of Prematurity
