Stinson, Mike Yanney and others, plus the world-class generosity of Chuck
Durham, equals the world-class University of Nebraska Medical Center."
"Over the years
I’ve seen UNMC grow into the facility that it is now. It’s been rewarding to
see that happen. It’s really up there with the best. I’m very proud that our
kids graduated from there and are doing fabulous things in medicine and
perhaps the research center will be beneficial to their needs in the future."
"After
all these years, it’s very pleasing to see my medical school
make advances like this. When I was in school we didn’t have
a lot of research. It’s fun to see us enter into the mainstream
and participate more in some areas of research that this institute
will be doing, not only research in ophthalmology, but many other areas
of medicine. I’m pleased to be associated with it."
"The crucial work
performed at UNMC's
Durham Research Center is a vital
investment in our state's intellectual infrastructure. It adds dramatically
to the luster of UNMC as a national asset for the health of our citizens."
