In a press release, Jakub Tolar, MD, PhD said the “Game-changing discoveries have been made at this University—we know how to do these things because we’ve done them before. The renewal of CTSI’s grant and our new partnership with Fairview are about harnessing the ability to advance medicine. We have an opportunity to build something here that makes Minnesotans proud and continues to fulfill the land-grant mission set forth by the University’s founders.”
