Researchers at the Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science have collaborated with scientists at the University of Southern California to better understand natural killer (NK) immune cells. Read an excerpt below on their collaboration, which ultimately resulted in a large and successful grand proposal:
“When we first submitted the grant to NIH, reviewers said that we needed a more rigorous statistical analysis to ensure that the study is designed properly,” said Finley. “We needed enough statistical power to answer questions about whether one CAR design is better than others. That’s when I looked at resources available at the Southern California Center for Clinical and Translational Science Institute (SC CTSI), and I connected with Melissa.”
She's referring to Melissa L. Wilson, M.P.H., Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at the University of Southern California and member of the Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) group at SC CTSI…
