\"\"TYLER — The UT Health Science Center at Tyler will receive a grant for more than $2 million for plasma research to fight COVID-19. According to our news partner KETK, the money comes from the National Institutes of Health and will help answer questions on the effectiveness of convalescent plasma, or blood from people who have recovered from the virus. As of now, the experimental treatment is proving as a promising option for patients with COVID-19. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is extremely important because a lot of people have been receiving convalescent plasma, but we really don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know for sure that it works,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Dr. Steven Idell, dean of the School of Medical Biological Sciences. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This study is designed to answer that question definitely. Does it work? Or doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it work? And if it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work, does it do any harm?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Here in Tyler the research team will be lead by Drs. Julie Philley and Megan Devine. They will be in charge of recruiting and monitoring 100 of the 800 patients in the study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
