Big news. We are moving.

I have officially started as the Director of the Gene Therapy Center, and as a Professor of Pediatrics and Professor of Pharmacology at UNC-Chapel Hill. I am returning “home” to lead the Center where I earned my PhD.

I am honored and excited to join UNC Lineberger and UNC health, to make an impact across the Triangle and state of NC, reducing the burden of cancer and advancing research and cancer treatment! Amazing team and strong legacy of directors Earp, Sharpless and Pagano.

Scientific research has been the engine of American economic growth for over half a century. From lifesaving medicines to the device you are reading this on. With these bills, congress takes one more step towards ceding that leadership abroad.
