Steelers defensive end Yahya Black is putting AAMDSIF in the spotlight—add your support with a gift today.
Rather than waiting for a single family to accumulate $30,000 - $60,000 in a fund, this fund combines the gifts of several individuals or families to create a research grant. Gifts to this fund are combined with gifts from other donors; once the fund reaches $60,000, a research grant award is made.
Matthew Walter, M.D. of Washington University in St. Louis, a 2005 AA&MDSIF grantee, credited his grant from AA&MDSIF as the start of his research into the genomics of MDS. Dr. Walter and his colleagues recently published the results of their significant work in the New England Journal of Medicine. Watch his interview on the AA&MDSIF YouTube channel.
