UAMS researcher Nirmala Parajuli has been awarded a five-year, $2.46 million grant to study a drug therapy that could reduce damage to donated kidneys during cold storage and therefore improve the long-term outcomes of patients who receive kidneys from deceased donors.
Parajuli is an assistant professor in the College of Medicine Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
As a UAMS Research Academy Scholar, she received training and other support to develop her grant submission.
The academy is supported by the UAMS Translational Research Institute, the UAMS Division of Research and Innovation and the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute.
