Easemedcontrol scientist Changjun Yin receives 50000.- € from the Excellent program of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) to support his application for an European Research Council Starting Grant in 2020
“The jury believes that your innovative work may become very important for new treatment strategies in Atherosclerosis and Alzheimer’s diseases since both are prototypical unresolvable inflammatory diseases with high risks to develop thrombosis-related diseases and your work has shown that anti-complement C5 therapy can reduce such thrombotic events in patients afflicted with complement-triggered diseases. Recent research indicates that oxidized lipids from diseased arteries or Aβ plaques in the brain trigger both the complement and coagulation cascades. A better understanding of the regulation of complement cascades in chronic inflammation may therefore facilitate the development of novel therapies for patients with thrombotic conditions, i.e. atherosclerosis and AD.”
