Supporting the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research – Legacy Fund

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research (SCRR). Your generosity provides vital resources to train the next generation of physicians and scientists, to advance the boundaries of medical research, enhance care, and optimize the outcomes of critically ill patients. Our vision is based on the pioneering spirit of the late Dr. Peter Safar, “to save hearts and brains too good to die.”

Safar Legacy Fund

Your philanthropic investment supports clinical and laboratory research in the areas of cardiac arrest, traumatic brain injury, pediatric neurointensive care, hypoxic brain injury, hemorrhagic shock, abusive head trauma (shaken baby syndrome), resuscitation, and rehabilitation. You may choose to make an outright donation or a contribution in the name of a relative or friend in loving memory or on a special occasion.

Rosalyn Garman Histotechnology Fund

Rosalyn Garman was an accomplished histotechnologist who took pride in the quality of her sections and stains and particularly enjoyed having the opportunity to perform collaborative research with investigators studying brain injury at The Safar Center. Rosalyn especially enjoyed interacting with both the researchers and technicians at The Center, although she also collaborated with investigators in other programs at the University of Pittsburgh and beyond. Over the years, Rosalyn developed expertise in the area of microscopic neuroanatomy and was recognized for her contributions to standardizing histopathologic evaluations in Developmental Neurotoxicity Studies in Rodents.

Rosalyn’s histotechnology fund is designed to provide additional support that will target the histotechnology programs within the various Safar Center research projects, realizing that histotechnology has the potential to provide key insights within any program designed to understand the morphologic aspects of nervous system injury. We hope that you will consider honoring Rosalyn’s memory by contributing to this vital area of research within the Safar Center.
