Reinventing COPD therapy through protein
COPD, the third leading cause of death worldwide, lacks effective therapy. Through the discovery of a protein that regenerates lung tissue, the course of COPD could potentially be altered. Although the idea is still in its early stages, researchers Luke van der Koog and Reinoud Gosens are looking for investors/entrepreneurs that will help them make their innovative inhalation therapy a reality for COPD patients.
