A scientist at a university in England has been given funding to study a serious condition that can develop after an E. coli infection.
Dr. Patrick Walsh from Newcastle University received a Kidney Research UK paediatric start up grant of £40,000 ($54,300) to look at how changes in protein production might cause hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in children who become infected by Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC).
