There are several key opportunities for philanthropic investment that can bring the Gene Therapy Initiative to life, and unlock new insights that may save lives. These opportunities include:
- Seed Grants & Collaboration: One of the most important ways that philanthropy contributes to breakthroughs is by empowering emerging research that holds promise but may not have the track record to attract funding from traditional sources. Whether this is on campus or points beyond, supporting collaborative funding for pilot projects and other research can mean the difference between a good idea and transformational therapy.
- Education & Community Engagement: Help us accelerate the pace of medical innovation by supporting our gene therapy educational events, including symposiums, workshops, and public engagement initiatives. Your donation will enable us to bring together leading experts, patients, and families to share knowledge, inspire hope, and foster a deeper understanding of the transformative power of gene therapy.
Ultimately, our success is intrinsically linked to the partnership of our community. As we pursue transformational new gene therapies through the proposed UC San Diego Gene Therapy Initiative, we are grateful to every person who comes alongside us in support of our mission. Thank you for your consideration.
