Researchers in Roanoke said a $50 million donation to the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC will propel efforts to better understand and treat enigmatic cancers and brain disorders. That $50 million donation, spread across the next five years, comes from the Red Gates Foundation, a Richmond-based philanthropy. It is equal to the largest donations ever made to Virginia Tech, the school announced Tuesday. 'It's truly a transformative gift,' said Michael Friedlander, executive director at the research institute.
