2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2018 OHSU opens new building aimed at ending cancer Scientists work to find a cure ers in the field, there’s noth- ing more exciting than that,” he said. Dietz works in the lab of Dr. Missy Wong up on Oregon Health & Science University’s Pill Hill. Over the next week or so, she’s moving her team of eight researchers down to the new building, meaning her old lab is a jumble of discon- nected machines and scientific equipment. Wong agrees the new build- ing is gorgeous, but points out that scientists move a lot — for graduate school, for post-doc- toral work and for jobs once they’re done with school — so she’s taking a practical approach. “There’s always opportu- nity in moving to consolidate the junk you’ve accumulated over the years, and so we look forward to kind of purging out our refrigerators and freezers,” she said. More than the new build- ing, Wong said she is excited about sharing space with scien- tists from other disciplines. “There are people that are from a genetics background, from a biochemistry back- By KRISTIAN FODEN-VENCIL Oregon Public Broadcasting Oregon Health & Science University will celebrate the official opening of the new Knight Cancer Institute in Portland today. The new building, and the 650 researchers and support staff it can hold, have the grand mission of finding a cure for cancer. “It’s an ambitious goal,” said pediatric oncology resi- dent Matt Dietz during a recent look around the new building. “It’s a really exciting space to be in.” Dietz, originally from Con- necticut, is in the early stages of his career. He said he can’t wait to move into the new building and rub shoulders with what he calls some of the best cancer scientists in the nation. “As a trainee and as an interested scientist, the oppor- tunity to have spontaneous interactions with thought lead- Kristian Foden-Vencil/Oregon Public Broadcasting Researchers are moving into OHSU’s new Knight Cancer Institute with the challenge of finding a cure for cancer. ground, et cetera, and we’re all scattered on this campus up here,” she said. “Moving down to the new building, we’ll all be in a single building.” The hope is that chance meetings will lead to shared ideas and, in turn, ground- breaking research and seren- dipitous discoveries. One reason Wong isn’t gushing about the new build- ing may be that she’s actu- ally moving into a smaller space than her current work home, as are many scientists. They’re even being asked to share machinery, again with the idea of encouraging chance meetings. “Even though the fundrais- ing campaign was $1 billion, we wanted to use most of that money for research,” she said. “So yeah, we could have built an amazing building that was huge, but then that’s not being good stewards of this gift.” The building cost $190 mil- lion, with the money being pro- vided mostly by the state and private citizens. The $500 mil- lion donated by Nike founder Phil Knight — a donation he initially promised on the con- dition it be matched by other fundraising — will be used mostly for research, rather than construction. The building was fin- ished on time and on budget. But some alterations had to be made. Perhaps the largest involved increasing the size of the concrete bathtub in which the basement sits. The watertight bathtub is needed to stop flooding, because the building sits in a flood plain close to the Willa- mette River. “I think they carefully thought about that, because it can really ruin careers,” Wong said. Scientists at universities in New York, Texas and else- where have lost their life’s work recently, as samples and computers were ruined by floodwaters. Even a little water in the basement can be a problem as that’s often when refrigerators and generators are housed. And if water shorts out the electric- ity, there’s no power to keep samples frozen. Other changes to the build- ing were less mission critical. For example, planters on the sixth floor terrace were just too big, because they’d been designed to hold trees. “There was a communi- cation early on in the proj- ect with the original designer about wanting it to be an inti- mate space where people were sort of surrounded by nature,” said Tiffani Howard, a sci- entist who helped design the building. “Well, when we started doing that work on the land- scaping, all of a sudden every- body else said, ‘Our view is gone.’” Dietz said it’s nice that peo- ple will now know who he’s working for when he goes to work. “When I talk with friends from college, and they find that I’m located here in Port- land, they’re excited,” he said. “When I talk to my friends in science or in medicine, the Knight Cancer Institute, I mean it has clout.” Astoria man arrested after Dairy Queen robbery By JACK HEFFERNAN The Daily Astorian An Astoria man has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery at Dairy Queen Gerald Lee Haynes last week. Gerald Lee Haynes, 42, was arrested by Astoria police Thurs- day morning. Haynes was allegedly armed with a small pistol and took an undisclosed amount of money from the West Marine Drive restaurant just after 10 p.m. on Aug. 31. A Dairy Queen employee told police she saw Haynes return to the restaurant sometime after the robbery, Astoria Police Chief Geoff Spalding said. She then reported seeing him near Dutch Bros on Marine Drive. Soon after the report, police took him into custody near Florence and Taylor avenues. Haynes has been charged with first-degree robbery, first-degree theft and possession of a weapon with intent to use.
