On Feb. 20, 2008, Lori and Jen-Hsun Huang of Los Altos Hills, California, announced a $5 million gift to the Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute (OHSU) to establish the James W. Mills Cancer Research Laboratories in OHSU’s new, world-class Biomedical Research Building.

Jen-Hsun Huang is the CEO, co-founder and president of NVIDIA, a leading Silicon Valley company and a world leader in visual computing technologies. Their interest in OHSU’s cancer research program and the Gleevec story intensified after Lori’s father began Gleevec therapy in 2001. The gift was made in loving honor of Lori’s father, James W. Mills.
