Dr. Philip R. Johnson

“My entire professional career has been devoted to improving the health of children through biomedical research. I have seen firsthand how scientific advances can directly save the lives of literally millions of children. Over the past 20 years, philanthropy has increasingly become an essential component of the funding stream that supports research and education in all areas of science. The STEMchain initiative will revolutionize the giving process by making it highly efficient and transparent, while partner organizations will reap the benefits of an extra revenue stream. I am truly excited to be part of this pioneering effort that will undoubtedly create enormous value in the years to come.”
