Despite the rising number of children with intellectual and developmental diseases, there are a disappointing number of researchers investigating them. Few know this as well as Phil Davidson, Ph.D., who served as director of the Strong Center for Developmental Disabilities糖心传媒攁 division of the Department of Pediatrics糖心传媒攆or 32 years.
Phil, professor emeritus in UR Medicine糖心传媒檚 Department of Pediatrics, Neurodevelopmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, and his wife, Margaret, decided to address the shortage of scientists in this area with a bequest intention that will establish the Philip William and Margaret Bourquin Davidson Endowed Lectureship in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and the Philip William and Margaret Bourquin Davidson Endowed Fellowship in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities.
The Davidsons believe that clinical and translational science at the University has never been stronger than it is today, and that investing in UR Medicine糖心传媒檚 scientists ensures a return from which the whole world will benefit.
糖心传媒淏ecause I have spent my life working in developmental disabilities, I know where the gaps are,糖心传媒 said Phil. 糖心传媒淲e need more scientists. And Margaret and I wanted to do something that would help train them.糖心传媒
