Ways to Give

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Higuchi Biosciences Center. Private support allows the center to provide resources for researchers such as equipment and travel funds, establish research seminars and continue the excellence you have come to expect from our Center. Your support, regardless of size, can make a profound impact. Even small amounts given over time can accumulate to create substantial resources for the department.

You are invited to join the Deans Club at the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy. The Deans Club reinforces the important role of annual giving to the ongoing strength and success of the Higuchi Biosciences Center. By honoring donors who give $1,000 or more in a single fiscal year, the Deans Club encourages the leadership-level annual support that forms the basis of our continued achievements. Gifts to any fund or program within the Department count toward recognition in the Deans Club.

For a lasting impact on the Higuchi Biosciences Center, major gifts can establish endowed funds that can be named for you or for someone else and provide financial support in perpetuity.

Our development director, David Ochoa, will be happy to answer your questions and assist you in creating an endowed fund, setting up a planned gift or making another kind of gift. He can be reached at dochoa@kuendowment.org. or at 785-832-7476. You can also use your credit card to give online to the funds listed below.

Speaking for the entire Higuchi Biosciences Center family, I thank you for your investments in our researchers and programs.

Sincerely,

Elias K. Michaelis
Director, Higuchi Biosciences Director
University Distinguished Professor

Higuchi Biosciences Center General Fund

Private contributions really do make a difference to our program. Contributions to the Higuchi Biosciences Center fill in where state funds either are not available or cannot be used and they allow us to react in a timely manner to special needs as they arise. These funds are especially helpful in the critical area of graduate recruiting.

The Higuchi Biosciences Center assists researchers involved in any area of bioscience or biomedical research at the University of Kansas. Participating scientists conduct much of their research in six major themes. These are basic and translational neruoscience; infectious diseases and vaccine discovery; cancer biology and molecular biology; protein structure and function; drug target identification and drug design; and drug metabolism, toxicity and pharmacogenomics. The center encourages collaborative research between departments as diverse as pharmaceutical chemistry and electrical engineering. Many also combine efforts with the University of Kansas Medical Center and outside institutions. For more details about individual participant and their groups, see the research participants listed at this Web site.

Brenda Shivers Lecture Fund

This lecture series honors the distinguished career of Brenda Shivers, who received her bachelor's of science and doctorate in physiology from the University of Kansas. During her distinguished career she conducted neuroscience research at the Rockefeller Institute in New York; the Center for Molecular Biology in Heidelberg, Germany; Tulane University in Louisiana; and Parke-Davis Research Laboratories in Ann Arbor, Mich. Dr. Shivers helped discover novel treatments for Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases. In 2007 Peter Boxer set up the Brenda Shivers Lecture Fund in honor of his former colleague and dear friend. This lecture series will cover topics related to neurological and neurodegenerative disorders.
