UCLA’s
Biosciences Initiative will expand knowledge exponentially to improve
quality of life for people throughout the world. UCLA donor S.L. Huang,
who was trained in engineering and has always enjoyed science, believes
the initiative’s interdisciplinary
approach is vital to scientific progress.
"The past 100 years have
been about specialization. That era has come to an end. Now the sciences
are merging because information is so accessible and easy to share." S.L. says.
S.L. and his wife, Betty, support
the initiative by funding the UCLA Science Faculty Research Colloquium,
which brings together researchers from the divisions of Life and Physical
Sciences in the College of Letters and Science, the David Geffen School
of Medicine and the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied
Science. Through collaboration, the scientific process itself is being
transformed, and UCLA is leading the way.
