Nvidia CEO gives $5M for cancer research

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University will receive new state-of-the-art laboratories made possible by Nvidia Corp.'s CEO.

Lori and Jen-Hsun Huang of Los Altos Hills committed $5 million to the OHSU Cancer Institute to establish the James W. Mills Cancer Research Laboratories in OHSU's Biomedical Research Building. Made in honor of Lori's father, James W. Mills, who has chronic myelogenous leukemia and has been successfully treated with Gleevec -- a drug developed at the laboratories -- since 2001.

The James W. Mills Cancer Research Laboratories will be located on the fifth floor of the Biomedical Research Building. The laboratories will become a core component of the institute's planned Center for Cancer Cell Signaling, where researchers will look for the secrets of cancer in the way cells communicate with one another.

Huang is head of Santa Clara-based Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). His Oregon ties date back to the early 1980s, when he and his wife met as engineering students at Oregon State University.
