diseases such as cancer and heart disease, was created with the help of nearly $60,000
from聽Women聽&聽Philanthropy, the largest grant ever awarded by the volunteer organization
that supports UT聽initiatives.
鈥淲e are extremely grateful for the significant聽investment provided by聽Women聽&聽Philanthropy聽to establish the center, which will greatly enhance our capability to聽investigate numerous diseases and develop potential therapies,鈥� said Dr. Steven Haller, assistant professor聽in聽the Department of Medicine and co-director of the new center with Dr. David Kennedy, assistant professor聽in聽the Department of Medicine.
