Our lab pursues long-term, fundamental research into how the human genome is organized and regulated. This work depends on federal science agencies, philanthropic foundations, and individual donors like you. In return, we strive to make discoveries that deepen our understanding of the genome and to give the next generation of scientists world-class training.
Support from individual donors gives our lab a kind of stability that project-specific grants cannot: the freedom to pursue promising but unproven ideas, to bridge gaps between funding cycles, and to invest in people over the long term. A gift of any size helps, and every contribution is deeply appreciated.
All gifts are tax-deductible and processed securely through Stanford University, with payment possible by credit card, check, or electronic transfer (see instructions below). To give a sense of what your support makes possible:
$100 buys specialized reagents.
$1,000 funds a cutting-edge DNA sequencing experiment.
$10,000 supports a summer undergraduate researcher launching their scientific career.
$100,000 supports a postdoctoral scholar or a PhD student for a full year as they lead the lab's most advanced research projects.
For those interested in making a transformative gift or establishing a named fund, please contact us directly to discuss how your support can have the greatest impact.
