Congressman Cohen Announces $418,000 Grant for St. Jude

“I am very pleased that HHS has awarded these monies to Dr. Vignali at St. Jude,” said Congressman Cohen. “This grant will fund critical diabetes research. St. Jude’s staff of scientists and researchers is the best in the country, and I’m glad that they are dedicating their time and resources to tackle tough problems like the diabetes crisis in this country.”

He added, “I firmly believe we will always reap rewards when we invest in science, and I commend HHS for again recognizing the efforts of our scientists working in the 9th District.”
