Dr. Brian Druker People are calling Brian Druker The Billion Dollar Man, for good reason: as Director of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, his research led to the development of Gleevec, a cancer drug that may just be the silver bullet we've been looking for. It's impressive enough that Phil Knight has offered a $500 million gift to OHSU if they can match it this fall. And they just might.
