We are primarily engaged in work related to global public health,
especially the diseases of poverty: AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.
Increasingly we are focusing on scientific and technical aspects of
the development of drugs and vaccines for infectious diseases.
In addition to working on these issues directly, the foundation has
worked in conjunction with, and advanced funds to help support, a
number of other organizations also working in these areas.
Specific direct activities of the foundation have included:
- Admission into grad school in the Biomedical Sciences at Case
Western Reserve University. (Strictly, attending grad school is not a
foundation activity, but it does dovetail nicely with the foundation's
goal of working on the scientific and technical aspects of infectious
diseases).
- Attending a conference on access to essential medicines and
University IP policy organized by Universities Allied for Essential
Medicines.
