New Presidential Endowed Chair of Biological Chemistry

The Department is very excited to announce the Thatcher Presidential Endowed Chair of Biological Chemistry. The $2.5 million Thatcher Chair endowment was established this spring by the generosity of the Lawrence E. Thatcher Family to support cutting-edge biological chemistry research in the new Thatcher Building for Biological and Biophysical Chemistry. Distinguished Professor and new Department Chair Cynthia Burrows is the inaugural holder of the Thatcher Chair (pictured on the right with Tom and Kathy Thatcher).
