About Leichtag Family Foundation Biomedical Research Building

Located in the School of Medicine with an assignable area of 85,882 square feet, the Leichtag Family Foundation Biomedical Building provides a space for the university’s cutting-edge biomedical research, particularly in the area of childhood diseases. The building was occupied in March 2004, thanks to a $12 million gift from the Leichtag Family Foundation. The foundation is a philanthropic force in the San Diego community, dedicated to alleviating human hardship and improving people’s quality of life. The foundation is optimistic that their support will help UC San Diego’s most talented scientists to make discoveries that will improve the health and well-being of the community.
