BOZEMAN - Researchers at Montana State University will receive $6 million over five years to study alternative medicines that target the lungs and intestines.

The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a part of the National Institutes of Health, will provide MSU with $1.2 million a year for three new research projects in the Department of Veterinary Molecular Biology.

Professor Mark Jutila, a grant recipient, says each project will examine a different approach to the use of alternative medicine. Each will be led by an established investigator, Jutila, David Pascual and Michele Hardy, and will involve junior faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students and undergraduate students.

Jutila says the researchers will investigate products already on the market and medicines still being developed.
