OHIO professor receives $220,000 grant to continue growth hormone, fat cell research Published: January 13, 2021 Author: Staff reports Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine
Kevin Lee, Ph.D., associate professor in the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, recently received a $220,000 boost for his research looking at how adipose, or fat, tissue reacts to growth hormone.
The funding award comes from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading science and technology company. The funds will be paid out over three years as different conditions are met.
