As if pledging a donation of $100 million toward Arizona's bioscience effort isn't enough, The Stardust Foundation is donating $7.5 million to several local powerhouses to further research efforts.
Scottsdale Healthcare is getting $5 million, Translational Genomics Research Institute, TGen, is getting $1.5 million, while the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center is getting $1 million.
Scottsdale Healthcare will use the money for cancer research and treatment at its Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center. TGen will use the money to fund research in bipolar disease and to help expand its overall infrastructure, including computational resources.
SARRC will fund the Bisgrove Autism Research Center, naming the center after Stardust's founder, Jerry Bisgrove.
