I am continually amazed by the efforts and accomplishments of our faculty and students towards revolutionizing health technologies for all. This has resulted in a fantastic global reputation for the department and individual recognition for our faculty, which in turn also makes our faculty highly recruitable in a very competitive academic space.

William A. Hyman Faculty Excellence Fellowship
Faculty fellowships and professorships provide flexibility to support graduate students, purchase new equipment and provide seed funds to pursue unique ideas for impacting health care. Rewarding and recruiting these outstanding contributors is an extremely difficult challenge. Contributing to this endowment helps support the translational research efforts of our faculty and students.
