More Changes at Texas Cancer Agency
德克萨斯州癌症研究所继续深化改革

William Gimson, the executive director of the troubled $3 billion Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT), stepped down last week. The agency also announced a new chief scientific officer to replace Alfred Gilman, the Nobel laureate who quit in protest over the agency’s peer review procedures. Gimson explained in a letter to CPRIT’s board that after 8 months of controversy, he has “been placed in a situation where I feel I can [no] longer be effective.” His resignation follows the departure of CPRIT Chief Commercialization Officer Jerald Cobbs in November.

投资30亿美元的德克萨斯州癌症预防研究所动荡不安,执行董事William Gimson上周辞职。该研究所还指派新的首席科学家来替代诺贝尔奖获得者Alfred Gilman,他因为对研究所(基金项目)预审流程的抗议而辞职。历时8个月的争论之后,Gimson写信给CPRIT董事会解释说,他已经“被置于一个自己觉得不在有用的处境。”CPRIT首席市场化执行官Jerald Cobbs11月前脚走人,Gimson后脚紧跟着辞职。


Last week, the Travis County district attorney launched a criminal investigation into CPRIT’s funding of several commercialization awards. CPRIT’s new chief scientist is Margaret Kripke, a cancer immunologist and former executive vice president at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. She told reporters that her first task will be to rebuild CPRIT’s “really terrific” peer review system, which lost many reviewers when Gilman left in October.

上周,Travis镇地区检察官启动了对CPRIT几笔商业化奖励基金的刑事侦查。CPRIT的新任首席科学家是癌症免疫学家Margaret Kripke,同时也是休斯顿德克萨斯州大学MD Anderson癌症研究中心的前任副主席。她告诉记者说,她的首要任务将会是重建CPIRT“非常了不起的”预审体系,许多评审人在10月份Gilman走后都流失掉了。
