The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute (previously the OHSU Cancer Institute) is a research institute within Oregon Health & Science University. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated cancer center is led by director Dr. Brian Druker.[1] The institute is named after Phil Knight and his wife, who donated over $600 million to the center; $100 million in 2008 and $500 million in 2013.[2] The $500 million gift required a matching $500 million, which led to a $100 million donation by Columbia Sportswear chairwoman Gert Boyle in 2014.[3]
History
The institute was first designated as a NCI Designated Cancer Center in 1997.[4] Brian Druker was named the director of the then OHSU Cancer Institute in 2007.[3]
