The campaign seeks to increase Salk&#8217;s unrestricted endowment and support four major scientific initiatives: Cancer, Genomic Medicine, Healthy Aging and the Dynamic Brain.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We are grateful for the vision and generosity of our donors who have joined us to achieve this milestone,&#8221; says Rebecca Newman, vice president of external relations at Salk. &#8220;The Campaign for Salk will ensure that our scientists can continue to make discoveries that will benefit human health for generations to come.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Campaign for Salk is helping the Institute&#8217;s researchers take advantage of new technologies and scientific approaches that are rewriting the rules of biomedical research, even as federal support declines for basic science. These advances are allowing scientists to discern what is happening at the deepest molecular level in our bodies and make sense of the bewildering complexity of our physiology and diseases.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;The ability to understand cells at a small scale is revealing the big picture of how they operate as complex systems,&#8221; says <a href=\"\/de\/faculty\/verma.html\/\">Inder Verma<\/a>, holder of the Irwin and Joan Jacobs Chair in Exemplary Life Science at Salk. &#8220;This is crucial to developing better therapies, since you can&#8217;t understand how a machine works\u2014or how to fix it\u2014without mapping out all the gears, switches and wires.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSoon after the public launch of the Campaign for Salk in January, the Institute announced the largest gift in Salk&#8217;s history and one of the largest ever to an independent research institution: an award of $42 million from the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust to establish the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/de\/hcgm\/\">Helmsley Center for Genomic Medicine<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn another first, Salk opened its campus to the community by hosting Step into Discovery, a day that included the inaugural 5K Walk for Salk and Explore Salk, a fundraising event and open house that offered exclusive tours of the Institute&#8217;s science labs. More than 1,200 people took part in the events, helping to raise $60,000 for research and the Institute&#8217;s Education Outreach program.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Institute has also made great progress over the past year in fulfilling a major priority of the Campaign for Salk by establishing seven new endowed chairs for exemplary Salk faculty. The Joan Klein Jacobs and Irwin Mark Jacobs Senior Scientist Endowed Chair Challenge was created by Dr. and Mrs. Jacobs to encourage donors through a matching funds program to establish <a href=\"\/de\/faculty\/faculty_chairs.html\/\">endowed chairs for senior scientists<\/a>. To date, 17 chairs have been established as a result of this program.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n\u00dcber das Salk Institute for Biological Studies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Das Salk Institute for Biological Studies ist eine der weltweit f\u00fchrenden Institutionen f\u00fcr Grundlagenforschung, an der international renommierte Fakult\u00e4tsmitglieder grundlegende Fragen der Biowissenschaften in einem einzigartigen, kollaborativen und kreativen Umfeld untersuchen.
