Dick had an appointment in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå and served as our Vice Chancellor of Research. After his passing, I wanted to memorialize his name and impact and pay it forward to other researchers.​ -- Dr. Vesna Jevtovic-Todorovic, MD, PhD, MBA, Professor & Chair
Our department has established the Dr. Richard Traystman Developing Scientist Endowed Fellowship. We will award a fellowship annually thus creating a legacy of developing scientists that will carry on Dick’s excellence as a researcher and innovator. In addition to our department providing the seed money to initiate the fellowship, we are also matching all donations dollar for dollar up to $100,000.​
