Paul Allen's 100 million donation to cell research

Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen is donating $100 million of his fortune to launch what he calls an “industrial-scale” effort to understand the basic building block of all living things: the cell.
quote:
The funds will go to the creation of a new institute based in Seattle that will construct a comprehensive visual database and predictive model of different types of cells, from cancer-ridden ones to neurons -- an effort that Allen said he hopes will help accelerate research into medical treatments and cures around the world.
quote:Linky
Allen’s initial investment of $100 milion in the brain institute has grown to $500 million and the institute is in the process of more than doubling its staff to 350 over the next few years.
I love it when billionaires do this, especially those with previous successful research programs

Cellucular research is the key to prolonging life.
