BALTIMORE — The University Maryland School of Medicine announced Monday that Google founder Sergey Brin and his parents have endowed a professor's chair at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where Brin's mother is being treated for Parkinson's Disease.

Dr. Lisa Shulman is the first recipient of the Eugenia Brin Professorship in Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders. Brin, his mother and father, Michael Brin, have donated $1.5 million to the university to establish the professorship.


Mrs. Brin said the donation was made to help patients like herself and "possibly even find a cure." Shulman plans to use money generated by the endowment to support a database the center has developed over the past five years on more than 1,000 Parkinson's patients.
