After eight years at the McKnight Brain Institute, Dr. Duane Mitchell’s Brain Tumor Immunotherapy program had outgrown its campus facility. To foster breakthroughs, Orlando hotelier Harris Rosen and his foundation gave $12 million to create an expansive, state-of-the-art laboratory in UF’s Basic Science Building. ⠀
⠀
The 13,120-square-foot facility is named in memory of Rosen’s son Adam, who received care at ufhealth and died in 2018 after a prolonged fight against brain cancer. Adam Rosen was an animal lover and fitness enthusiast who frequently joined his family at charitable events, notably Runway to Hope, a Central Florida nonprofit that supports families fighting pediatric cancer. ⠀
