Michelle M. Le Beau, PhD, director of the University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center, has been named the new president of the Association of American Cancer Institutes.
“As an administrator and researcher, Michelle has a deep understanding of the needs of the talented individuals who work together to build a cancer center,” Barbara Duffy Stewart, the association’s executive director, said in a press release. “Her expertise and knowledge will be invaluable as AACI continues to focus on persisting challenges faced by cancer centers.”
Le Beau succeeds William S. Dalton, PhD, MD, the longtime head of the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.
“It’s an exciting challenge and honor to lead AACI, a vibrant organization led by Ms. Stewart, whose multidisciplinary programs have had a lasting impact on cancer research and care,” Le Beau said in the release. “I’m delighted to work with the leaders of our nation’s cancer research enterprise in advancing our collective mission of translating cancer research into improved patient care, cancer prevention and community outreach.”
