Research takes time and sustained investment. Startup funding and donor support allowed
my lab to acquire the X-ray diffractometer we use to study the three-dimensional structures
of proteins involved in DNA repair.
— Dr. Aishwarya Prakash
Dr. Prakash's story in cancer research began with a personal loss and a passion to understand why cancer develops. Today, she’s uncovering the biological differences within tumors that could lead to more precise treatments and future clinical trials. Together, we can give the next researcher, innovator and problem-solver the opportunity to make an impact.
Bold Begins with You
Whether it's a breakthrough in clinical research or a scholarship that changes a student’s
life,
every milestone begins with a partner who believes in what’s possible. All gifts,
big or small, make a difference.
When you invest in discovery, you invest in what comes next.
Breakthroughs do not happen by accident. They require talented people, like Dr. Prakash, willing to ask the next question. They require laboratories, technology and resources that allow ideas to become experiments and experiments to become discoveries. And they require people who believe in what comes next.
Campaign Pillar: Research & Discovery
At South, research brings disciplines, perspectives and people together to solve complex problems and create meaningful change. From the Gulf Coast to our laboratories, classrooms and communities, USA researchers are pursuing discoveries that can strengthen our region and beyond. When we invest in people, like Dr. Prakash, and the places where breakthroughs begin, ideas can become outcomes and today's discoveries can shape tomorrow.
