About the Friends of the Saint Louis University Liver Center The mission of the Friends of the Saint Louis University Liver – and the Young Friends group – is to raise money to support public education; promote understanding and awareness of liver disease; and support research, treatment and cure of liver diseases at the Saint Louis University Liver Center, located at Vista and Grand Blvd. in the city of St. Louis, Missouri.
Since 2003, the Friends of the Saint Louis University organization has raised and donated more than $2.7 million for the SLU Liver Center. These funds helpsupport the critical infrastructure of the Liver Center from faculty salaries to visiting professorships and patient-oriented seminars and research. Byleveraging the donations of the Friends, the Liver Center is able to use the funds as “seed grants” for investigators to gather preliminary research datathat in turn generates larger grants from outside sources. This seed grant process has generated $18 new dollars from outside the region for every $1 raised locally.
