CONGRATULATIONS TO
The Biden administration selected distinguished surgical oncologist and Prevent Cancer Foundation board member Monica Bertagnolli, M.D., FACS, as the next director of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Dr. Bertagnolli succeeds the agency’s former director, Dr. Ned Sharpless, who stepped down in April after a nearly five-year tenure. Dr. Bertagnolli is the first woman to be selected for this role, in which she is responsible for the largest agency in the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
In order to accept this prestigious position, Dr. Bertagnolli had to resign from all board positions. We are grateful for her service to the Prevent Cancer Foundation and our mission and look forward to what she will achieve for cancer prevention and early detection in her new role.
