CTMC Class of 2012 and 2016

Project Updates:
I never did the clinical trial that I created for the course, as my preliminary data did not work out the way I expected. Still, I learned a lot.
In 2013 I was asked to be the second in command for a Phase 3 clinical trial and co-wrote the Protocol and grant application, using the knowledge I gained in the course. We were funded (NCT03300648)
In 2020 I applied for a Phase I/II clinical trial as the PI and it was awarded. That study is ongoing (Study Details | DON in Pediatric Cerebral Malaria | ClinicalTrials.gov)
