Yesterday I formally passed the gavel—and the Association of American Cancer Institutes presidency—to Dr. Rob Winn at #AACI2023. I can't think of anyone to whom I'd rather pass the gavel than Rob. masseycancercenter.org/news/massey-di…

With over 30 years of experience—most recently as the first woman director of National Cancer Institute—Dr. Monica Bertagnolli will bring a wealth of knowledge to the role of NIH director. Her commitment to diversity in clinical research will enhance efforts to reduce cancer disparities.

As Association of American Cancer Institutes president, I am grateful for the support of AACI members—over 100 leading cancer centers, like-minded organizations, and corporate partners—in 2023. I join AACI in wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season and look forward to continued collaboration in 2024.
