The DSHB
First Positives Fund

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

For years, DSHB has thrived on the support of our dedicated user community, which has allowed us to advance scientific discovery through the distribution of our repository of antibodies. It is with your partnership that we've reached incredible milestones.

Now, we embark on a new chapter. The DSHB First Positives Fund, inspired by the encouraging words from Harlow and Lane's 1988 antibody manual, celebrates the moment of breakthrough – that exhilarating “first positive” result:

Day 66, hard work starts, but
champagne for first positives.

This fund, via the University of Iowa’s Center for Advancement, is a clarion call to enhance our Research & Development team's endeavors, allowing for more comprehensive experiments and groundbreaking projects in antibody validation. It's about investing in the tools and talent that will propel us into the future of scientific innovation.

We invite you, our most prominent supporters, to consider contributing to the DSHB First Positives Fund. Your donation will fuel the advancements and ambitious undertakings that keep DSHB at the forefront of global research resource sharing.

Join us in raising a glass – and hopes – for the leaps in knowledge yet to come.

With Sincere Appreciation,

Professor Doug Houston
