The center, named the Stephenson Family Personalized Medicine Center at the Center for Applied Molecular Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine, will help support the research of David Agus, MD, a professor of medicine at Keck who helped develop a regimen to treat Mrs. Stephenson’s late-stage lymphoma, which is now 18 months in remission, according to the report.

The school has already appointed Shannon Mumenthaler, PhD, as laboratory director and Dan Ruderman, PhD, as director of analytics, from the Stephenson’s gift.
