U.S. News East Tennessee State University Researcher Gets $1.9 Million for Chlamydia StudyMay 14, 2004 East Tennessee State University researcher Dr. Jane Raulston has been awarded nearly $1.9 million in a five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the influence of low iron levels on chlamydia. Some of the highest rates of chlamydia infections are recorded among people ages 15-24. Women in this group are in their peak reproductive years and characteristically have low iron levels due to menstruation. "Once we know specifically how these organisms trigger damage, we can begin to design vaccines for therapeutic intervention," said Raulston, who will collaborate on the study with Dr. Ming Tan of the departments of molecular genetics and internal medicine at the University of California-Irvine.
