ERC Starting Grant for LUMC researcher Konda Babu Kurakula

November 28, 2022

Dr. Konda Babu Kurakula of the Department of Cell and Chemical Biology, Cardiovascular Cell Biology Team of Prof. Marie-José Goumans, has received a Starting Grant of 1.5 million euros. He will use the 1.5 million euros to investigate the molecular mechanisms that cause the predominance of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in women. Read the article on lumc.nl.
