The Washington University School of Medicine has received a $15 million gift from Paula and Rodger Riney to accelerate research and develop new treatments for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
Rodger Riney founded Scottrade Financial Services, which was acquired in 2017 by TD Ameritrade in a $4 billion deal.
About $10 million of the gift will support Alzheimer's disease research, while the remaining $5 million will support Parkinson's disease research, officials said Tuesday.
