Major gift accelerates transformation of old mall into UCLA research hub
Briefly

Dr. Gary Michelson's $120 million donation to launch the California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy will significantly advance disease prevention and treatment research, including cancer.
"That building would have gone on the last available piece of property on the UCLA campus, and it would have been extraordinarily expensive to build there," Michelson noted, emphasizing the value of the new research center's location.
UCLA's acquisition of the former shopping center as a research park marks a significant transformation from a shuttered retail space, providing critical research resources for the institution.
The California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy is one of several innovative programs planned for the UCLA Research Park, aiming to foster groundbreaking medical discoveries.
