Build Waksman Institute with Streptomycin Funds
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., (JTA)
new $3,500,000 Institute of
Microbiology was opened at Rut-
gers University here for research
purposes on funds obtained from
royalties from the sale of strep-
tomycin, one of the new "won-
der drugs."
The center, also known as the
Waksman Institute, was set up
and will be supported by a foun-
dation established by Prof. Sel-
man Waksman, director of the
institute and 1952 Nobel Prize
winner for discovery of the drug.
Eighty-two and one-half per-
cent of the royalty income from
an estimated $100,000,000 in
annual sales in the Unit e d
States alone of streptomycin has
been turned over to the foun-
dation by Prof. Waksman.
