The Board of Trustees of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston has named Elizabeth G. Nabel, MD, as its new president.
Nabel, a former director of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in Bethesda, Md., will succeed Gary Gottlieb, MD, who is leaving the hospital to become the chief executive officer and president of Partners Health Care. Nabel will assume the position on Jan. 1.
“We are extremely pleased that Dr. Nabel, an extraordinarily talented and accomplished physician, scientist and educator, is joining the Brigham and Women’s/Faulkner community,” Gottlieb said in a press release.

Nabel has previously served on the faculty of the University of Michigan, where she advanced from assistant professor of medicine to become the director of the CV research center, a professor of internal medicine and physiology, and eventually chief of cardiology. Nabel joined the NHLBI as scientific director for clinical research in 1999 and became director in 2005.
“The opening of this door is a tremendous opportunity to share a personal passion with world-class clinicians and scientists to link excellent patient care to internationally respected research and they carry our collective wisdom forward to our students,” Nabel said in a press release. “All of this will be done with a keen focus on how we can make a difference in the lives of those who depend on us whether they live half way around the world or across the street from out front doors.”
