RESEARCH
Your contributions have made 2019-2020 the most productive year we have ever had and we hope for even more exciting things in the year to come. You can support individual investigators or encourage research that addresses subjects in which you have a special interest. Come to talk with us about what you think might be the best use of your generosity. We depend on you, we want to collaborate with you and we are interested in your views of what is going on in this remarkable new period of biomedical research, already bearing completely unforeseen and stunningly important rewards.
Some of the things they are doing include:
- Altering genetic structure to prevent or cure disease
- Creating new forms of life by designing entirely new genomes
- Developing ever more complex robots to assist and help humans achieve better lives.
- Equipping men and women to travel in space and eventually equipping them to inhabit other places in the universe.
- Unraveling the way the experiences of grandparents and parents shape the embryo in the womb to form characteristics that will last that child's lifetime
These are some of the projects we want to support. We sponsor thoughtful think tank sessions by leading biomedical investigators, legal experts and ethicists who together consider the implications of what we are doing in this revolutionary phase of human existence. Our new textbook, the third edition of the Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine, our just-founded journal, Gender and the Genome, and the symposia we participate in and support all around the world are dedicated to reporting the new achievements that are expanding and changing our understanding of what it means to be human.
