PIs rely heavily on trainees to carry out most of their lab’s hands-on work, running experiments and collecting the data needed to pub- lish studies and write the next grant application. If the NIH and universities like BU are the machine of research, says Linda E.

The Chester S. Keefer, MD Society • The Chester S. Keefer, MD Society was established as a means of recognizing individuals whose personal philanthropy has helped advance the dual research and education missions of Boston University School of Medicine. The Society is named in honor of Dr. Chester S. Keefer, whose foresight and determination in roles as chairman of the Department of Medicine, dean of Boston University School of Medicine, and director of the Medical Center, were responsible for laying the foundation for the Boston University Medical Center. In memory of his spirit, we honor those donors whose total contributions have reached $50,000 or more at the School of Medicine. Names in bold are new members.

Your Gift Opens Doors at BUSM Take Tania Torres-Sanchez (MED’16), who fell in love with BU during her interview visit. “I knew that I wanted to be here and work with this patient population,” she says.

Thanks to a donor-funded scholarship, “I could come to BU, where I wanted to come,” she says. “When I got my BU financial aid packet, I thought ‘Oh, good. I don’t have to choose between what I want and what I can afford.’ That’s a great feeling.”
