Richard Rogel
Richard and Susan Rogel's 2018 gift to the University of Michigan renamed its NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centre, founded in 1986, the Rogel Cancer Center.
Overview
Richard Rogel, a Michigan alumnus who built and sold the health-benefits firm Preferred Provider Organization of Michigan, and his wife Susan made a 2018 gift to the University of Michigan that led to the renaming of its Comprehensive Cancer Center, an NCI-designated centre since 1986, as the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center. The centre's own timeline records the gift; the amount, widely reported at the time, could not be confirmed against that page for this record and is not repeated. The centre is known for the discovery of the TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion found in about half of prostate cancers and for early work on cancer stem cells, and the Rogel gift funds recruitment, early-career investigators and clinical trials infrastructure.
