A family impacted by type 1 diabetes for generations has gifted $10 million to Yale. That commitment has now resulted in a $10 million gift to Yale School of Medicine (YSM) to fund a five-year, multi-investigator research program focused on reversing and ultimately curing type 1 diabetes. Anastasia and Igor Bukhman made the gift through the Bukhman Foundation to be part of the work that could impact their daughter’s life and future generations to come.
“The gift funds a number of projects which are all focused on stopping the immune-mediated pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and restoring lost insulin-producing beta cells,” says Kevan Herold, MD, the C.N.H. Long Professor of Immunobiology and of Medicine (Endocrinology).
