EpiPen Price Hike Drawing Local Criticism, Highlighting Need For More Research
Dr. Jane Buckner discusses why more research is so important in light of the recent EpiPen price hike. Currently EpiPens are criticial for those who suffer from allergies. However with new research uncovering why people develop allergies, she hopes that one day we will be able to prevent these diseases or cure them and we won't need to rely on EpiPens. BRI recently recieved an $8 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to lead research in this area.
