Imagine where our world would be without scientific breakthroughs. Without vaccines, millions would die of smallpox or polio. Without antibiotics, an infection would be deadly. At Seattle BioMed, we know that breakthroughs are not only necessary but possible.

Our research discoveries pave the way for new vaccines, drugs and diagnostics to combat the world's most devastating infectious diseases. But, breakthroughs don’t just happen. They require investment. Unrestricted gifts to the Breakthrough Fund provide Seattle BioMed with the flexibility to designate contributions to where they are most needed.

Your Dollars At Work

Whether you can give $1,000 a year or $25 a month, we’ll put your contribution to good use. In the past, Breakthrough Fund contributions have supported research activities such as:

• Innovation Awards: competitive seed funding awarded to our scientists for high-risk, high reward pilot research projects. Browse Seattle BioMed publications to find stories about Innovation Awards that have funded Seattle BioMed research.
• Global Health Biotechnology Center: bringing together the latest technologies and expertise to accelerate research toward new vaccines and drugs.
• Global Health Internships: training the next generation of global health leaders by giving college undergraduates the opportunity to work side by side with Seattle BioMed’s world-renowned scientists.
