Behind great discoveries are great Universities
Through the Marty and Dorothy Silverman Foundation, formed in 1984, the late philanthropist Morris “Marty” Silverman made a $1 million gift to support the University at Albany’s Life Sciences Research Initiative, a major effort to advance scientific understanding of the molecular mysteries of life and disease. Through the initiative, UAlbany has been able to invest more than $100 million in public and private funds to expand its research facilities and attract world-class researchers.
