Donation will support hiring of global-health researchers.
Recruitment has begun at Washington State University's Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health in Pullman, where a new research facility will open in May. By 2015, administrators hope to hire 13 researchers to detect emerging cross-species diseases, develop vaccines and work on transmission control, says director Guy Palmer. Hiring is supported by US$51 million in donations from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle, Washington; another $14 million is earmarked for programmes including training students in East Africa.
