The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) has awarded six research grants totaling $450,000 for projects that aim to discover new treatments and a cure for these chronic diseases.
Theoharis Theoharides, MD, PhD, professor of pharmacology at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, received a two-year, $200,000 translational research grant to translate his laboratory findings into real-world applications to manage health. Dr. Theoharides will explore how stress contributes to psoriasis and how molecules derived from chamomile might interrupt this psoriasis-stress connection.
