CLEVELAND, July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Harrington Discovery Institute at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio, today announced the 2021 class of Harrington Scholar-Innovators. The scholar awards will support a diverse set of drug discovery projects including new treatments for multiple cancers, cardiovascular disease, Graft vs. Host disease, liver injury/fibrosis (NASH), Parkinson's disease, and the emerging field of longevity and aging.
The Harrington Discovery Institute—part of The Harrington Project for Discovery & Development—was established in 2012 to accelerate the development of new treatments to address major unmet needs in medicine and society. Harrington Scholar-Innovators are accomplished physician-scientists whose research demonstrates innovation, creativity and potential for clinical impact. In addition to grant funding, Harrington provides guidance and oversight in all aspects of drug development through its Therapeutics Development Center, while taking no rights to intellectual property.

"We are incredibly inspired by the brilliant science demonstrated by these eight physician-scientists," said Jonathan S. Stamler, MD, President of the Harrington Discovery Institute at University Hospitals and Robert S. and Sylvia K. Reitman Family Foundation Distinguished Professor of Cardiovascular Innovation and Professor of Medicine and of Biochemistry at Case Western Reserve University. "In surrounding each Scholar with an experienced pharma and business development team with a track record of bringing new drugs to market, we are maximizing the therapeutic potential of great science."
The selected Scholars have access to several rounds of capital (up to a total of $700,000) through their affiliation with the Harrington Discovery Institute, as well as facilitated access to our mission-aligned commercial partners Advent-Harrington Impact Fund and BioMotiv, and to our charitable partner Morgan Stanley GIFT Cures.
