The renovation of an office for Lynda Chin, the wife of the president of the
University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Ronald DePinho,
may have cost as much as $2 million, according to an analysis by a
Washington, D.C., investigative newsletter. The allegations of lavish
spending on Chin's office at MD Anderson add to the woes of the pair of
cancer research leaders a year after Chin was awarded an $18 million grant
from a state cancer research fund that did not undergo scientific review.
The office suite for Chin, who heads a new drug discovery institute at MD
Anderson and chairs the center's Department of Genomic Medicine, was meant
to have a "corporate" feel, according to 680 pages of documents obtained by
The Cancer Letter. The do-over included designer furniture and required many
exceptions from university building rules for features such as glass walls.
The renovation was paid for by the center's capital accounts, which come
from investment income, gifts, and patient revenue, MD Anderson officials
told the newsletter.
Although the overall project cost $1.5 million, officials said that this
amount included the purchase of lab equipment. The tab for Chin's office
renovations was $547,434, they said. They told The Cancer Letter that the
project "transformed a traditional academic office suite to a work
environment and meeting area for a science/business enterprise, a concept
new not only to MD Anderson, but most of academic medicine."
Last week, DePinho announced that because of financial pressures, MD
Anderson is freezing staff salaries and postponing some capital projects.
DePinho has drawn criticism for his ties to companies and for launching a "
moon shot" program aimed at dramatically improving survival for several
cancers within a decade. The controversy over MD Anderson's $18 million "
incubator" grant from the $3 billion Cancer Prevention and Research
Institute of Texas (CPRIT) spurred the resignations of CPRIT chief
scientific officer and Nobel Prize-winner Alfred Gilman and many of the
agency's scientific advisers. After questions about several grants triggered
investigations, CPRIT briefly suspended its grantmaking. The Texas
legislature has since drafted a bill to overhaul CPRIT's operations and is
poised to approve $600 million in new funding . |

Internal documents obtained by The Cancer Letter show that the suite may
have cost the state institution at least $1.5 million, and the overall costs
could be closer to $2 million.
MD Anderson officials dispute these numbers. Total spending on the lab and
office design projects was $1,492,159, they say, but this sum also includes
lab equipment, such as new hoods and a ventilation system for a specialized
chemistry section. Officials estimate the cost of upgrading Chin’s office
suite at $547,434.
This explanation appears to be contradicted by the budget documents,
purchase orders, invoices and other materials obtained under the Texas
Public Information Act. These documents do not mention lab equipment and
contain no evidence of payments being made for such expenses from the budget
for upgrading the suite. The documents—680 pages—are posted on The Cancer
Letter website.
Though architectural plans identify the project as“Dr. Chin Office
Renovation,” a renovation it was not. The 25,000-square-foot suite, much of
it south-facing, is new, located on the sixth floor of the just-constructed
South Campus Research Building III. |

就跟大家说个笑话
据说是当时在场人士转述的
话说DePinho刚就任时
有一个弯弯来的department chair认为Lynda Chin也来自弯弯
想借这个关系拉拢跟新任大老板的关系
所以就在一个场合开口跟Lynda Chin哈拉了几句普通话
结果是自讨没趣
因为Lynda Chin听不懂
