KANNAPOLIS — A biomedical research company with an office at the N.C. Research Campus has started a collaboration with Harvard Medical School that could help win grants and create jobs in Kannapolis.
Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute works to prevent and cure diseases like asthma and cystic fibrosis. The nonprofit institute based in New Mexico has a center at the Research Campus run by a graduate of East Rowan High School, Dr. Chris Blanchette.
Lovelace partnered with Harvard two months ago to find new treatments for respiratory disease.
Blanchette said he expects Lovelace to win grants in the $10 million to $20 million range, and most of the money would be used to hire personnel, some who would end up in Kannapolis. "The impact on this economic environment could be substantial," Blanchette said.
