Consortium members will now be focused on developing an application for the Phase 2 designation, with Dr. Anjon Audhya of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health declaring “we’re just getting started.” Audhya is the school’s senior associate dean for basic research, biotechnology and graduate studies.
