Chairs in Medical Research

Endowed chairs catalysts for positive change
An endowed chair is a senior research position with guaranteed perpetual funding through earnings from the endowment fund itself. The researchers who hold these chairs are national leaders in their fields, with the ability to stimulate research activity and attract other researchers and outside funding to build highly successful research programs.
