$50 Million Donation to Medical College of Wisconsin Advances Precision Medicine
Linda T. and John A. Mellowes have donated $50 million to the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) to advance precision medicine, marking the largest philanthropic gift in MCW's history. The donation will rename an institute and a campus building at MCW and bring on board Dr. Marni J. Falk as executive director. The funds aim to build data infrastructure for world-class precision care, attract top talent, deliver innovative medical education grounded in genomics, and expand personalized medicine access across communities. The gift also supports collaborative efforts between MCW, Children’s Wisconsin, and Froedtert ThedaCare Health toward a future of lifelong individualized patient care. MCW has been at the forefront of precision medicine since 2009 when it became the first institution to successfully treat a patient by sequencing their genome. The Mellowes family's donation is expected to accelerate MCW’s leadership in genomic sciences and clinical research.
