Harvey A. Risch, professor emeritus and senior research scientist at Yale School of Public Health, said he was named chair of the President’s Cancer Panel. Risch will succeed Elizabeth M. Jaffee, who was appointed by President Joe Biden in January 2023.
Michael R. Caputo, a cancer survivor and a Republican political operative with a wide-ranging resume, was named to the President’s Cancer Panel, a board formed under the National Cancer Act to monitor the National Cancer Program and report to the president about “barriers to progress in reducing the burden of cancer.”
