Kevin Elias, MD |
Kevin Elias, MD, of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, recently received a K12 award from the Reproductive Scientist Development Program (RSDP) with the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Elias received this grant to study new treatments for ovarian cancer.
Started in 1988, the RSDP is a national career development program with the mission of developing physicians and scientists who will research cutting-edge cell and molecular technologies to address major issues in obstetrics and gynecology. The RSDP is supported by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health within the NIH.
The award consists of a two-year period for training, during which all of Elias's time will be devoted to researching ovarian cancer. After this period, Elias will continue this research for three years, working to design a new drug delivery system for treating ovarian cancer that uses a combination of molecular biology and nanotechnology.
