$1000 funds lab sequencing a person's genome
$2500 funds equipment for tumor cell cultures
$25,000 can help fund a drug library screening for new therapeutics
$50,000 can underwrite a research fellow to work in the lab for one year
$250,000 could double the capacity and progress of the lab for one year
$1,000,000 could create a named endowded fund that would support a research fellow in perpetuity
