A KGW-TV story features OHSU’s use of a noninvasive robotic device to administer high-frequency, focused ultrasound waves to destroy prostate cancer; Sudhir Isharwal, M.D., says: “What this technology does is it uses sound waves to treat and heat up the prostate cancer tissue to destroy the prostate cancer.

Tradeline highlights the Robertson Life Sciences Building on OHSU’s South Waterfront Campus as an example of a hybrid research, clinical and education building catalyzing development in the surrounding area. Los Angeles architect Jonathan Kanda says, “Once an institution makes a commitment in an emerging area, it creates long-term civic and developmental confidence. Like-minded programs begin to aggregate around the institutional ‘keystone,’ and then housing, food and entertainment in the surrounding area take root.”
