Cho Submits Duke CTSI Application on Infant Health & Development Using Mouse Model

Kudos to June Cho for the submission of her Translational Accelerator Program application to the Duke CTSI, project entitled "Causal Relationship of Testosterone with Infant Health and Development using Mouse Model." This proposal requests funding ($150,000) for a one-year period with a start date of May 1, 2017.

Abstract: Using mice, the proposed study is designed to test the hypothesis that high testosterone levels are the cause of poor health and development of infants. Regardless of its origin, testosterone is to trigger a series of endocrinologic cascades resulting in the poor outcomes.  Proven to be correct, controlling the testosterone level in infants should be a sufficient clinical intervention for improving the wellbeing of infants.
