Long-awaited choice comes more than a year after Francis Collins resigned as director of the largest public funder of biomedical research in the world.
After serving a brief 6-month stint as the first female NCI director, Bertagnolli would be the second permanent female director of the NIH if she is confirmed.
In December, Bertagnolli announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. At the American Association for Cancer Research meeting in Orlando, Florida this week, Bertagnolli said that her treatment had gone well and that her prognosis is “incredibly good”. “It’s not a walk in the park,” she said of the experience. “But I’ve had tremendous support.” Bertagnolli also noted that she participated in a clinical trial to develop a new diagnostic testing approach.doi: https://doi.org/10.
