“This is a tremendous program with talented and dedicated faculty and staff, a terrific research infrastructure and superb core facilities,” Lawrence said in a press release.

Lawrence — who joined the university’s faculty in 1987 — succeeds Max S. Wicha, MD, who founded the cancer center 27 years ago.

Lawrence will hold the title of Max S. Wicha, MD, distinguished professor of oncology. He also will serve as chair of radiation oncology at the University of Michigan Medical School.

“As patients, families and the scientific community look to us for the next breakthroughs, we are fortunate to have the expertise of an established leader of Dr. Lawrence’s caliber to guide the Cancer Center into a very promising future,” James O. Woolliscroft, MD, dean of the University of Michigan Medical School, said in a press release.
