With donor support, the University can also continue to make
a difference in critical areas of research.
The work of one researcher, Dr Morgan Newman in the
School of Molecular and Biomedical Life Sciences, was made
possible through the generosity of the Carthew Family Charity
Fund. Dr Newman uses zebrafish as a genetic model to
study Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, research which will
potentially help with therapies and perhaps even a cure. The
Carthew Family donation enabled her to continue her research
while waiting for funding.
“Donations such as these support young investigators
who are struggling to stay in science because they may be
waiting for a fellowship to be funded,” says David Adelson,
Professor of Genetics, Head of School of Molecular and
Biomedical Life Sciences.
The University has also benefited from those who want to
help preserve and maintain the University’s beautiful historic
structures, such as the Barr Smith Library and Elder Hall, while
others are keen to invest in new projects for innovative learning,
teaching and research facilities.
“As we strive to recapture the University’s founding vision,
donations will transform our great institution and build on
its already formidable reputation in teaching, learning and
research,” says Professor Bebbington.
