Sriharshita Musunuri Wins Siemens Scholarship For Her Research On Sepsis

Sriharshita Musunuri  from Mill Creek has won a prestigious $25,000 dollar scholarship in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology. Sriharshita Musunuri’s research focuses on sepsis, which is one of the leading causes of death in U.S. hospitals. Sepsis is when your body has an overactive response to infection. It can lead to organ failure. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a quarter million Americans die every year from sepsis. Musunuri, a student at Henry M. Jackson High School, got interested in doing this research after reading that horseshoe crab blood is used to detect a bacterial toxin that can cause sepsis. She said horseshoe crab blood can cost $15,000 per quart.

Laurus labs is ready to flood the US with cheap HIV drugs

Among the coconut plantations and beaches of South India, a factory the size of 35 football fields is preparing to churn out billions of generic pills for HIV patients and flood the US market with the low-cost copycat medicines. US patents on key components for some important HIV therapies are poised to expire starting in December and Laurus Labs -- the Hyderabad, India-based company which owns the facility -- is gearing up to cash in. Laurus is one of the world’s biggest suppliers of ingredients used in anti-retrovirals , thanks to novel chemistry that delivers cheaper production costs than anyone else. Now, its chief executive officer, Satyanarayana Chava , wants to use the same strategy selling his own finished drugs in the U.S. and Europe.
