David Tepper: The Philanthropist Who Gave Back to His Community

David Tepper, an exceptional American billionaire hedge fund manager, has not only made a name for himself in the financial industry but has also gained recognition as the proud owner of the Carolina Panthers, a renowned team in the National Football League (NFL). 

As the founder and president of Appaloosa Management, a global hedge fund based in Miami Beach, Florida, Tepper has demonstrated remarkable expertise in investment strategies and has achieved remarkable success throughout his career. Early Life and Education: A Foundation for Success David Tepper, who was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on September 11, 1957, was raised by a Jewish family in the East End area of Stanton Heights. His parents, Harry and Roberta, gave him a supportive environment in which he was encouraged to follow his passions and hone his skills. Tepper showed an early interest in sports, especially football, and early evidence of his remarkable memory when he recalled baseball statistics from cards his grandfather had given him. Tepper was a National Merit Scholar while he was a student at Pittsburgh's Peabody High School, where he excelled academically. He began his academic career at the University of Pittsburgh after graduating from high school, where he eventually earned a bachelor's degree in economics in 1978. Tepper went on to earn an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University in 1982 after realizing the value of continuing his education. This enhanced his understanding and proficiency in the field of finance. Family and Personal Life While David Tepper's professional endeavors have garnered significant attention, he remains a private individual who prefers to keep his personal life out of the public eye. Tepper is happily married to Nicole Tepper, and together, they have three children named Brian, Casey, and Randi. Despite his reserved nature, Tepper's impact on the financial world and his dedication to philanthropy speak volumes about his character and commitment to making a difference. Building a Strong Foundation After earning his MBA from Carnegie Mellon and gaining a solid understanding of economics, David Tepper started his career as a credit analyst at Equibank. He joined Republic Steel's finance department in 1984, where he developed crucial knowledge in distressed investing. Tepper joined Goldman Sachs's newly established junk bond department in 1985, though, and his career really took off after that. He rose quickly to a key position inside the company. The Rise of a Hedge Fund Powerhouse David Tepper decided to leave Goldman Sachs in 1993 to start his own hedge fund, Appaloosa Management, as a result of his unmatched competence and entrepreneurial zeal. The fund flourished and quickly acquired prominence under his skilled supervision. By the turn of the 2000, Appaloosa Management had over $1 billion in assets under management, solidifying its position as a major player in the financial sector. Tepper's investment approach focused on distressed debt, and he had a remarkable aptitude for spotting undervalued assets during difficult economic times and frequently capitalizing on them to make substantial returns. Tepper successfully navigated market volatility by savvy decision-making and rigorous analysis, earning his reputation as one of the most knowledgeable investors of his generation. Wealth and Philanthropy: David Tepper net worth David Tepper's wealth has increased significantly over time; in 2023, it is predicted that he would have a net worth of over $18 billion. Due to his extraordinary success, Tepper has developed into a well-known philanthropist who donates millions of dollars to numerous charity organizations. Tepper's philanthropy has allowed institutions like Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, and the Robin Hood Foundation to expand their goals and have a good influence on communities.   Diversifying and Expanding Horizons Beyond his imposing position in the hedge fund sector, David Tepper has started a number of businesses that have increased his power and widened his reach. Notably, he has made investments in well-known sports organizations like the New York Mets, Charlotte FC, and the Carolina Panthers. Tepper also owns a large portion of the renowned Heinz Ketchup Company, demonstrating his breadth of economic interests and his aptitude for spotting lucrative investment opportunities. Investments: A Bold and Calculated Approach David Tepper is known for his fearlessness and willingness to take calculated risks when investing. He has made a number of significant and wise investment choices over his career that have generated sizable profits. His huge wager against the subprime mortgage market in 2008, which turned out to be quite profitable, is a prime example. Tepper has constantly stood out among his colleagues due to his aptitude for analyzing market trends and spotting lucrative possibilities. A Visionary Leader and Philanthropist David Tepper's impact on the financial industry, coupled with his remarkable success as a hedge fund manager and business leader, is undeniable. His entrepreneurial spirit, strategic decision-making, and exceptional investment acumen have catapulted him to the pinnacle of the financial world. Moreover, his commitment to philanthropy and generosity in giving back to society highlight his character and commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others. Read the full article

Novochizol SA to collaborate with the University of Pittsburgh Center for Antibody Therapeutics

Novochizol SA to collaborate with the University of Pittsburgh Center for Antibody Therapeutics on two research initiatives aimed at fighting COVID-19

Bioark, Monthey, October 15, 2021 : Novochizol SA, a Swiss biotech company with a unique chitosan-based drug formulation nanotechnology, today announced the launch of two research initiatives focusing on COVID-19 prevention and therapeutics in collaboration with researchers at the Center for Antibody Therapeutics (CAT), Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Pittsburgh.

The first initiative consists of developing a Novochizol™ aerosol formulation of ab10, a high potency bivalent human VH domain against SARS-CoV-2 spike, identified in a phage-displayed human antibody VH domain library, similar to the one first reported in a breakthrough publication in the journal Cell in October 2020 [1]. The objective of this first initiative is to demonstrate to what extent ab10, which has potent neutralization activity against various SARS-CoV-2 variants, can inhibit viral infection and replication when delivered as an intranasal aerosol. If successful, such a formulation may lead to a first-in-class solution for early treatment and prevention of COVID-19 infections.

The second initiative consists of developing a Novochizol™- based formulation of a SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor binding domain (RBD). Previously CAT researchers demonstrated that RBD fused to Fc can elicit a strong neutralizing antibody response in mice[2]. Now the CAT researchers have produced RBD with the Beta variant triple mutations in the receptor-engaging ridge. The objective of this second initiative is to demonstrate to what extent a systemic immune response against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern may be generated via an intranasal administration and whether a bona fide mucosal immune response is elicited. If successful, this initiative may pave the way toward the development of a rapid vaccine formulation platform where essentially any combination of viral antigens may be attached to Novochizol™ nanoparticles for intranasal, oral or rectal administration.

“Since the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, our center has rapidly identified highly potent anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies by using antibody phage displayed technology coupled with antibody engineering strategies. With the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants, we are dedicated to broadening our antibodies’ neutralization capacities by antibody paratope engineering and the generation of bispecific antibodies.  ab10 is a broadly neutralizing antibody VH domain that showed reactivity to various SARS-CoV-2 isolates.”

Wei Li, Center for Antibody Therapeutics

“As a newly founded start-up company, we feel privileged and humbled to collaborate with an outstanding research group at one of the leading medical research institutions in the USA and worldwide. More importantly however, is the overall objective of the two research projects. Contributing to a preventive strategy against COVID-19 – via a self-administered spray or a sterilizing vaccine would be a once-in-a -lifetime achievement!”

Yvan (Vanya) Loroch, CEO Novochizol SA

Founding Anniversary- The Archives of Industrial Society

Cartoon from a Pittsburgh Press feature on the opening of the Archives of Industrial Society in the Fall of 1963. Pictured in the background are Heinz Chapel and the Cathedral of Learning. (Pittsburgh Press, November 3rd, 1963).

This post was written by Jon Klosinski, Archives Assistant

October 7th marks the 57th anniversary of the first accessions and founding of the Archive of Industrial Society (AIS)- one of the foundational collections for Pitt’s Archives & Special Collections department.

Preparation of the AIS program began as early as 1960 under the guidance Dr. Samuel Hays, the Pitt History Department Chair, who was already an avid collector of historical material related to industry and its environmental impact in the region. Hays intended for AIS to serve as a primary source collection that would meet the research demands of social history, a new discipline which had emerged in the early 1960s and sought to understand the lives of ordinary people whose experiences had been underrepresented in the historical record.

Samuel P. Hays, founder of the Archives of Industrial Society

Historians in the region had combed the area for records before, but generally for colonial-era material and records related to very small group of people- mainly white, male, public figures. Older institutions in the region, such as the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania, founded in 1879, had up until the middle 20th century only focused its collecting work on prominent individuals and families in the region. Archival scholar Richard Cox describes the founding of the Archives of Industrial Society at Pitt in the early 1960s as “…a conscious effort to deal with the omissions in the acquisition policy of the Historical Society and to support the research needs and interests of the urban and social historians located at the University of Pittsburgh and other institutions of higher education.”[1]

Hays received a grant for the AIS project from the Wherrett Memorial Fund of the Pittsburgh Foundation, administered by Dr. Stanton Belfour. Monte Calvert, a Pitt History PhD candidate, was appointed as the first curator of AIS, and began work with a small team of graduate students providing assistance. Calvert, a native Californian, had worked in various capacities at archives and museums across the country, and spent time in August 1963 visiting the Baker Library at Harvard Business School to learn more about proper organization and management of an archival program.

Monte Calvert, then a Pitt History PhD and first curator of the AIS, in a Pittsburgh Press feature on the AIS launch (Pittsburgh Press, November 3rd, 1963)

Calvert anticipated the project to be very large, from single letters to roomfuls of records that detailed mines, large corporations, and other types of records generally thought to be outdated and thrown away by their creators. From the outset, the department intended to use the archive to reach beyond the field of history, envisioning a broader program for the study of industrial society in general that would connect with other departments at the University. All of the material gathered in the first few weeks of the program was piled into a single room, 2916, on the 29th floor of the Cathedral of Learning, along with a loan of additional storage space on the 3rd floor of the Mineral Industries Building. Clearly needing more adequate space to facilitate research, Calvert and his supporting staff anticipated an eventual move to facilities in the new Hillman Library, which opened in January 1968.

The initial scope for the archives project aimed to collect records created between 1850 and 1900, a period of great industrial expansion in the region. Early literature and outreach materials created by the AIS details the types of materials that were being sought, which included papers of important civic and political leaders and organizations, minutes and manuscript records of ethnic, nationality and religious groups; newspapers created by ethnic, labor and religious group; and books, printed documents and broadsides related to the history of Western Pennsylvania in the 19th and 20th centuries. Calvert and the AIS project also identified material that had been traditionally neglected at libraries. Known (and often dismissed) as “ephemera”, this included catalogs, pamphlets, instruction books, price lists and other printed matter that contained useful data on prices, specifications, principles or other information that could not be easily found elsewhere.

Archives of Industrial Society Promotional Brochure, c. 1966

The first two accessions into AIS were entered on October 7th, AIS.1963.01 and AIS 1963.02. The American Service Institute, AIS, 1963.01, The Records of the American Service Institute, was founded in Pittsburgh in 1941 with the purpose of working through the organized structure of the Pittsburgh community to promote better understanding and appreciation among people of all cultural and national backgrounds. The collection is comprised of material and includes minutes, unpublished studies and reports, immigration and naturalization files, publications, general information on local organizations, material on local community projects, context about the aged population, youth immigration records, and information about customs and traditions of cultural groups. The collection has been previously featured on this blog as part of the Archival Scholars Research Award program.

The first two entries in the Archives of Industrial Society Accession Log on October 7, 1963. (Archives and Special Collections Department Internal files).

AIS.1963.02, The Sumner B. Ely Diaries, is a series of 50 small diaries that detail the daily activities of Sumner B. Ely, an engineer who worked in the iron industry from 1899 until 1920, and became Superintendent of the Bureau of Smoke Prevention, part of Pittsburgh's Department of Public Health in 1941.

Today, building on the Archives of Industrial Society 's mission of documenting underrepresented and underserved communities, The Archives and Special Collections Department of the University of Pittsburgh Library System continues to pursue those broad objectives through its robust collecting initiatives. The Archives of Industrial Society continues in the Library System under its prefix “AIS” but has grown to represent new historical resources in areas such as African American studies, LGBTQIA+ studies, women’s studies, gender studies, medical innovation and other materials that document Western Pennsylvania's continual growth from its industrial past.
