ChromoTrax Funding

Some more good news today coming out of the “Incubator“.  According to the Baltimore Business Journal, Frederick’s own ChromoTrax was awarded a $50K grant from TEDCO for a collaboration with UMB for the “diagnosis and treatment of people with genetic-based diseases”.

I wonder if this means and end to androgenic alopecia?
