From Wikipedia:
>> In November 2011 the control of NLR was purchased from its university
>> membership by a billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong for $100M, who
>> indicated his intention to upgrade NLR infrastructure and repurpose
>> portions of it to support an ambitious healthcare project through
>> NantHealth. The upgrade never took place. NLR ceased operations in
>> March 2014.<<
