Wyss Gift Sets Harvard Record
Engineer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Hansjörg Wyss (MBA ’65) has made a gift of $125 million to Harvard University to create the Hansjörg Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. It is the largest individual gift in Harvard’s history.
The institute will be a collaborative enterprise bringing together experimentalists, theoreticians, and clinicians with expertise in engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, robotics, medicine, and surgery. They will work to develop biomimetic materials, microdevices, microbots, and innovative disease-reprogramming technologies, which will provide a deeper understanding of living systems and will lead to more efficient bio-inspired ways of creating a more sustainable world.
