Brown Chair of Structural Biology
School of Medicine - Established December 2000
The Brown Chair of Structural Biology supports a leading-edge molecular biologist who is an expert in the area of cancer genetics. The endowment was doubled by Kentucky's Research Challenge Trust Fund.
The James Graham Brown Foundation was incorporated in 1954 from the assets of Brown, an area entrepreneur who made most of his wealth in the timber industry.
The foundation supports projects in the fields of civic affairs, economic development, education and health in Kentucky.
In 2002 the foundation pledged one of the largest single gifts in the university's history -- $15 million to support cancer research and patient care.
The foundation pledged an additional $15 million in 2004 to the cancer center's Finding Answers to Cancer campaign.
