Joyce Brandman and Dr. John Belperio

The new center will support medical research and training focused on chronic lung disease, which affects 35 million people in the U.S. 

The commitment is also intended to endow one administrative chair and two academic chairs, along with two funds, providing resources for current and future lung specialists at UCLA.

Philanthropists Joyce Brandman and her late husband, Saul, have been longtime supporters of health-related initiatives at UCLA and beyond.
