Stanford Researchers Receive $300K From Life Sciences Pioneer in China To Study Childhood Diseases
On Monday, the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health announced that China's Luming Ai -- a life sciences pioneer -- donated $300,000 to a team of researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine that is working to help doctors identify Kawasaki disease. The disease affects young children -- particularly those of Asian descent -- and causes the walls of arteries, including the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, to become inflamed.
