Ways to Support the Institute

Give Now

Dr. Maryam Ahmadian Memorial Endowment

Illnesses such as diabetes and obesity can often be linked to metabolic disorders; they also represent some of our world’s most pressing medical challenges. A comprehensive understanding of metabolic health is crucial to the treatment and prevention of numerous chronic diseases. 

At UC San Diego, our team of physician-scientists seeks to develop this understanding and redefine the way we treat, manage and prevent diabetes and metabolic disease.

Philanthropic support is a key component to the advancement of these efforts. The most common ways of giving are gifts of cash, securities or personal property. Outright gifts offer the distinct advantage of being immediately available to assist the Institute and our programs. 

These gifts will help support our priorities such as providing top tier education, innovative research and the highest quality clinical care, just to name a few.
