Invenra, Inc., a startup company that was established at the University of Wisconsin Research Park in Madison in 2011, focuses on researching ways to help the immune system battle different types of cancers. However, treating cancers involves using different drugs, and creating these drugs is a timely process. A key ingredient for fighting cancer and other autoimmune disease are antibodies, and figuring out which antibody to use to fight a certain disease is both time-consuming and costly.

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare lung disease that has only been recorded about 700 times in medical literature. In order for someone to get PAM, both parents must have the genetic mutation that causes it. Although rare, this disease can result in a much shorter life expectancy or death. With the help of a new grant worth $1.6 million over the next four years from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the NIH, researchers at the University of Cincinnati will further study this rare disease.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic illness caused by their immune system killing all insulin-creating cells in the pancreas that is developed most frequently in young children. There are no current cures for Type 1 diabetes, and those with the disease must inject themselves with insulin throughout the day to help their body convert sugars and starches into the necessary energy to keep them functioning through the day.
