Morgridge Book

John and Tashia,

Your generous philanthropy, vision, and wisdom was and continues to be instrumental in creating and growing the private, biomedical research institute that is the Morgridge Institute for Research. What a wonderful journey it has been. There have been bumps in the road, but the dream that locating a private research institute in the center of a great public university that would be a benefit to both the institute and the university is coming true. Beyond the high quality, biomedical research being done, two distinguishing features of the Morgridge Institute are the focus on bioethics and the outreach to school-agers, helping them appreciate the importance and excitement of scientific research. I am thankful that you insisted that the Morgridge Institute pursue these efforts. It would not be the Morgridge Institute without them.
