Bayer announced the 2020 recipients of the annual Pulmonary Hypertension Accelerated Bayer (PHAB) Awards, a U.S.-based research grant program created to support clinical research in pulmonary hypertension (PH), with a focus on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The seven recipients will receive a combined total of $1 million in grants over a two-year period, making the PHAB Awards one of the largest industry-funded grant programs focused on PAH and CTEPH in the U.S. Among them is Dr. Samuel Rayner at the UW Center for Lung Biology, to study proximal pulmonary vascular compliance and inflammation in PAH.
