UCSF is thrilled to announce a new philanthropic partnership with Joan and Sandy Weill and their generous gift of a $185 million – the largest single donation in UCSF’s history. More about this institute is available @ www.weill.ucsf.edu website. The video features the donors discussing the impetus for the gift and their aspirations for the impact the Institute will make on neurosciences research by finding new ways to treat, cure, and even prevent brain disorders, by advancing our current understanding of the brain. UCSF's community members enlighten why UCSF was selected as beneficiary and outline the basic structure of the gift to support the Institute building, recruitment and retention of faculty and graduate study research.
