Alumni and friends, we thank you for your continued support of the department and its programs. Your contributions will provide the margin of excellence needed to advance the tradition of outstanding research and training in the Department of Biomolecular Chemistry, formerly Physiological Chemistry. To continue to set the standard for excellence in research and teaching, alumni and friends can make a tax-deductible donation to the Department of Biomolecular Chemistry Distinguished Graduate Student Fellowship and/or The Department of Biomolecular Chemistry Chairman’s Fund through our philanthropic entity, the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
Dahlberg-Klessig Distinguished Fellow in Biomolecular Chemistry Fund will be awarded on an annual basis to a dissertator PhD student obtaining their PhD in the lab of a Biomolecular Chemistry faculty member. The fellowship will be awarded to students that have displayed creativity, curiosity, collegiality and perseverance in pursuit of their PhD thesis research. In addition, this fellowship aims to enrich the diversity of our PhD community. To contribute to this fund, which was initiated in 2022 by the BMC faculty, please click the link HERE.

The Paul Bertics Memorial Lectureship is a hosted annual lecture to honor the memory of Professor Paul Bertics who passed away unexpectedly in 2011. Dr. Bertics was a dedicated teacher, researcher and mentor. Paul’s research spanned many fields including intracellular signaling/EGF receptors, pulmonary research/eosinophil biology, endotoxin research/purinergic receptors, or bioengineering. He also collaborated extensively across campus disciplines with a diverse group of researchers. Donations to this lectureship can be made using the Chairman’s fund through this link.
