One of the largest philanthropic donations in Australian history will fund a world-first immunology research centre in Melbourne, driving new treatments for diseases such as asthma, allergies and arthritis.
The pledge – one of the largest philanthropic investments in Australian history – will fund a new research centre, employing more than 50 scientists and staff, and become a major contributor to the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct. The Snow Centre for Immune Health, announced on Tuesday, is a partnership between the Snow Medical Research Foundation, WEHI and the Royal Melbourne Hospital. This foundation was created by the Canberra-based Snow family through the vision of billionaire businessman and philanthropist Terry Snow.
