Media Outlets Publicize NIH-Funded Research

Newsday, InnovateLI, and The Island 360 have published the news of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant secured by NYITCOM’s Jerry Zhao, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical sciences. His research will analyze how the sugar molecule heparan sulfate impacts brain function, with findings potentially leading to new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and autism spectrum disorder, all of which have been linked to heparan sulfate abnormalities.
