Purdue gets major gift to study brain-eating amoeba
Original: Significant Gift from Jordan Smelski Foundation will fuel Purdue Veterinary Medicine research on deadly brain eating amoeba
The Jordan Smelski Foundation has made a significant gift to Purdue University's College of Veterinary Medicine to fund research on Naegleria fowleri, the deadly brain-eating amoeba. The foundation was created after Jordan Smelski died from a Naegleria infection, and it supports research and awareness of the rare but usually fatal infection.
Why now: The foundation's donation will expand research into a rare, deadly infection for which few effective treatments exist.
