Emory University in Atlanta is getting a 5.4 million dollar gift to help researchers fight lung disease. The grant is coming from the founder of Monster.com, Andrew McKelvey. This represents a second monetary gift that McKelvey is giving the school. A previous gift of 20-million dollars was given to a lung transplantation center at Emory's School of Medicine, named after McKelvey. The center represents Georgia's only lung transplant program. It's expected about 26 transplants will be performed this year, which is double the amount performed in 2001.
