The Perot family, The Perot Foundation, and The Sarah and Ross Perot, Jr. Foundation have provided a transformative $50 million endowment for UT Southwestern’s Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), among the nation’s elite programs that provide graduates a dual M.D./Ph.D. degree to strengthen the advancement of laboratory discoveries into the clinical arena.

The Perot family’s support will expand the number of students admitted to the dual-degree program as well as research disciplines in which they study, to include biomedical engineering, computational biology, bioinformatics, and data science.
