For more than 60 years, the Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Foundation has supported innovative biomedical research at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, each year granting $100,000 awards to two faculty. This year, the foundation named Albert Almada, PhD, and Miller Huang, PhD, Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Foundation Faculty Fellows. The foundation also gave $75,000 to support the Keck School’s Medical Student Summer Research fellowship program.

“We are proud to support Drs. Almada and Miller’s research, which holds great promise in developing approaches to prevent muscle loss and treat pediatric cancer,” said Katie Russell, president of the Baxter Foundation. “We are dedicated to aiding young researchers, including medical students, across California who are developing innovative treatments to improve the quality of life of individuals around the world.”
