Inventive professor gives $105M to NYU
0 Comments | USA TODAY, August, 2005
A microbiology professor who fled the Nazis with his family as a child, then made a fortune inventing a drug for rheumatoid arthritis, plans to donate $105 million to the New York University School of Medicine. Jan Vilcek, 72, says he is grateful to the institution for nurturing his research. The medical school says the gift is the largest it has ever received.
The donation will consist of royalties Vilcek has earned from the sale of anti-inflammatory agent Remicade.
