Local 12: UC researchers study how to personalize COVID-19 treatments

Local 12 highlighted the University of Cincinnati's Bingfang Yan, who recently received a a $2.5 million National Institutes of Health grant to study how COVID-19 therapeutics can work together to create more effective and safe treatments for patients.

The University of Cincinnati's Bingfang Yan, PhD, DVM, has received a $2.5 million National Institutes of Health grant to study how currently approved COVID-19 therapeutics can work together to create more effective and safe treatments for patients.

“The question we are asking is, can we combine two of those, or even three of those, that can produce better favor or more effective treatment?" Yan, professor and associate dean for research and innovation at UC's James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy, told Local 12 News.

Yan said finding out more about how these drugs can be given in combination will not only help treat COVID, but may be useful in treating other viruses like influenza.
