UNC announced this month the launch of IMPEDE (Instruct and Modulate Protein Ensembles for Disease Evasion), a $25 million federal consortium funded by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. The project brings together researchers from seven universities to develop methods for detecting and stopping diseases like Alzheimer's and pulmonary fibrosis before they begin developing. Dr. Ronit Freeman serves as lead scientist on the effort.
