The Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research (IBBR) has been awarded a $115,000 grant to further develop and commercialize a multi-specific antibody as a therapeutic for HIV. The grant is funded under the Maryland Innovation Initiative (MII) by the Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO) that supports the commercialization of academic-based research in the State of Maryland and thereby supports the State’s efforts to foster economic development. The MII program is a collaboration between the State of Maryland and five Maryland Institutions: University of Maryland, Baltimore, University of Maryland, College Park, Morgan State University, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and Johns Hopkins University.
