Leaving a Legacy

Support the School of Medicine through a Planned Gift

Saint Louis University School of Medicine received a generous planned gift from Abdul Waheed, Ph.D., in honor of William Sly, M.D. Dr. Waheed’s gift will support the endowed Centennial Chair in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. Gifts to the Centennial Chair will also celebrate the upcoming 100th anniversary of the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, founded by Edward A. Doisy in 1924.

The state-of-the-art Edward A. Doisy Research Center is home to the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. At ten stories tall and housing over 206,000 sq. ft. of research space, scientific research performed in the research center focuses on five areas: cancer, liver disease, heart and lung disease, aging, and vaccine development.

The future depends on the generosity of alumni and friends of Saint Louis University. Bequests help the University plan for the future and strengthen our programs. The legacy you leave through a bequest to Saint Louis University will endow and perpetuate the standards of excellence expected from the School of Medicine.

Willliam Sly, M.D.

“I love Saint Louis University, and I support the research of this institution, notably in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.,” said Dr. Waheed. “When I came to SLU, Dr. Sly became a trusted mentor; and I am proud to honor his legacy through a bequest.” Dr. Waheed continued, “supporting the Centennial Chair campaign in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, celebrating the 100th year of the department, and simultaneously recognizing Dr. Sly is a rewarding experience and essential for the future of research.”
