A $10 million gift to USC by a retired ophthalmologist and his wife will boost funding for advanced research into debilitating neurosensory diseases such as blindness, the university announced May 9.
The donation by Dr. Allen Ginsburg and his wife Charlotte will establish a research fund at the USC Institute for Biomedical Therapeutics, which brings together doctors, engineers and other scientists to develop treatments for debilitating blindness and other neurosensory disorders.
In recognition of their gift, the institute will now be named in their honor.
