Endowed Chairs

Endowed Professorial Chairs are among the most meaningful and lasting gifts.

Endowed professorial chairs are available in:

• Cancer Biology
• Chemistry
• Infectious Diseases
• Metabolism and Aging
• Molecular Therapeutics

An endowed professorial chair requires a gift of $3 million. Endowed chairs for department heads are $5 million.
