LU GIFT ENDOWS NEW PROFESSORSHIP IN DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL
CHEMISTRY
Anthony
Y.H. Lu, Ph.D., (second from left) came to Michigan as a postdoctoral
fellow in biological chemistry in 1966 to work under the direction
of Professor Minor J. Coon. He and his wife, Lillian Lu, last
year established a charitable remainder unitrust of more than
$1 million to endow the Anthony and Lillian Lu Professorship
in Biological Chemistry. Their gift was matched by $750,000
from a fund set up by former Interim Dean A. Lorris Betz. Dr.
Lu retired last year as executive director of drug metabolism
at the Dupont Merck Pharmaceutical Company. He is also an adjunct
professor in the Department of Chemical Biology in the School
of Pharmacy at Rutgers University. The Lus are pictured here
at a dinner in their honor in Ann Arbor last fall with their
daughter, Deborah Lu, who received her doctorate in biological
chemistry from the department in 1996 and now works in the structural
biology program at the Skirball Institute of Biomedical Medicine
at New York University, and with Jack E. Dixon ( left), chair
of the department, and Minor J. Coon (right), Dr. Lu's mentor
at Michigan.
