The Preuss Foundation for Medical Research was incorporated in February 1985 with an initial gift by its founders, Mr. and Mrs. Preuss. The goal of the foundation is to provide forums for medical researchers, leading to an increase in communication and collaboration among them. To facilitate this goal, The Preuss Foundation holds a series of research communication seminars in specific fields of scientific investigation. These seminars are designed to enhance future directions of research through communication, and to be a catalyst for new collaborations among its participants.
