MARK GILBERT was named chief of the Neuro-Oncology Branch at the NIH, within the Center for Cancer Research of NCI.
Gilbert was previously deputy chairman of the Department of Neuro-Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The Neuro-Oncology Branch is a cooperative program between the NCI and the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Established in 2000, the NOB became one of the first trans-institutional initiatives at the NIH.
Gilbert has served as co-chair of the Brain Tumor Committee for the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group since 2010, and has been the primary investigator on a number of pivotal studies in the field of neuro-oncology. He is expected to begin his new role in late November.
