Biomimicry might be an unfamiliar field to many undergraduates, but in 2008 it was the beneficiary of the largest gift in the University’s history, when Business School graduate Hansj??rg Wyss gave $125 million to found the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. The institute seeks to “discover the engineering principles that Nature uses to build living things...[to] revolutionize healthcare and create a more sustainable world,” according to its Web site...
This year’s fundraising total was aided by a number of large donations, most notably a $125 million gift over the next five years—the largest in Harvard’s history—from Business School graduate Hansj??rg Wyss to fund the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering in Allston. Gifts of over $1 million accounted for over 40 percent of the cash total...
...July 2011. It is unclear whether this date will be postponed as the University assesses current spending. The science complex will house the Medical School’s Systems Biology Department—an institute for bioengineering primarily funded by a $125 million gift from Harvard Business School graduate Hansj??rg Wyss—the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, and the Stem Cell Regenerative Biology Department, a joint venture between the Medical School and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. “Although we view this campus as an important investment in the life sciences...
Bioengineering at Harvard is about to take off. In late September, Hansj??rg Wyss donated $125 million to Harvard to found the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. Topping the $100 million for international programs and the arts that Harvard received last April from David Rockefeller ’36, this gift is the largest donation in Harvard’s long—and wealthy—history. The Harvard community should be thankful both for Wyss’ generous donation and for the research it will fund. As a combined project between the School of Engineering...
...million gift, the largest in Harvard's history, comes from Hansj??rg Wyss, a native of Switzerland who graduated from Harvard Business School in 1965. It will go to fund the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering over the next five years. The new institute will be part of the much-touted science complex in Allston, which will also house the Harvard Stem Cell Institute; the Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology Department, a joint venture between the Medical School and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences; and the Medical School’s Systems Biology Department...
