The Eppley Cancer Center has been chosen as the recipient of the 2003<\/p>\n

distribution of the Shrike-Hlavac Memorial Trust. Money from the trust<\/p>\n

will go toward seed money for innovative research ideas.<\/p>\n

These funds are essential in obtaining larger grants from such national<\/p>\n

funding agencies as the National Cancer Institute, said Ken Cowan, M.D.,<\/p>\n

Ph.D., director of the Eppley Cancer Center. We are certainly very appreciative<\/p>\n

of all of the support we have received from the trust, as these funds are<\/p>\n

extremely important in our quest to find cures to deadly cancer diseases.<\/p>\n

UNMC researchers, via the NU Foundation, have received gifts from the<\/p>\n

trust since 2001. The Shrike-Hlavac Memorial Trust has gifted more than<\/p>\n

$100,000 to UNMC, and as such, was placed on the Wall of Honor, near the<\/p>\n

second-floor escalators in the Durham Outpatient Center.<\/p>\n

The Shrike-Hlavac Memorial Trust was created by Maxwell Eugene Shrike,<\/p>\n

a former resident of Stromsburg, Neb. Shrike was a career Air Force veteran<\/p>\n

who used his savings to create the trust for the express purpose of providing<\/p>\n

funding to support research to cure heart disease, cancer and leukemia.<\/p>\n

His mothers maiden name was Hlavac, hence the name of the trust. Shrike<\/p>\n

passed away in 1995. Pursuant to Mr. Shrikes wishes, Cornerstone Bank,<\/p>\n

which has served Central Nebraska for over 100 years, succeeded him as<\/p>\n

trustee.<\/p>\n

The cancer and heart research being done by the Eppley Cancer Center<\/p>\n

and the University of Nebraska Medical Center serves as a living testimony<\/p>\n

to Mr. Shrike, said Richard McDougall, Vice President & Manager of<\/p>\n

the Cornerstone Trust Division.  Cornerstone is honored to serve<\/p>\n

as Trustee for the Shrike-Hlvac Memorial Trust and is confident that the<\/p>\n

pioneering work being done by Dr. Cowan and Dr. Zucker is the type of research<\/p>\n

Mr. Shrike intended for the trust to fund.<\/p>\n

Irving Zucker, Ph.D., the Theodore F. Hubbard, M.D., Professor of cardiovascular<\/p>\n

research and the chairman of the department of physiology and biophysics<\/p>\n

at UNMC, said that money from the trust has assisted his research in a<\/p>\n

couple of areas. One example of the research projects in Dr. Zuckers department<\/p>\n

which are supported, in part, by the Shrike-Hlvac Trust, involves heart<\/p>\n

arrhythmia, in which researchers are studying the malfunction of protein<\/p>\n

channels across cell membranes. Another project involves studying the effects<\/p>\n

of exercise on individuals with heart damage.  After heart failure<\/p>\n

is simulated in rabbits, researchers have found that consistent exercise<\/p>\n

has a positive effect. The mechanism involves an enzyme found in the brain<\/p>\n

that controls nerve activity to the heart and blood vessels.<\/p>\n
