Mr. Davis is very much a technician, and not a visionary -- despite also being trained as a lawyer, as was Mr. Frazier. But this is quite good news for Dr. Geberding. She's been a leading light in human health care for her entire career. Here's the latest, via BioSpace:
. . .Gerberding will assume leadership of the FNIH on May 16. She was the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 2002 to 2009, the first woman to hold the position. Over her career, she has been included in Forbes Magazine’s 100 Most Powerful Women in the World, Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World, Glamour Magazine’s Women of the Year, and was the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association’s Woman of the Year in 2018. . . .
Before joining the CDC, Gerberding was a tenured faculty member at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She completed her residency there as well as a fellowship in infectious disease and clinical pharmacology. She went on to establish the UCSF Prevention Epicenter at San Francisco General Hospital. . . .
Now you know. And, coming here during women's history month, she is a living treasure. That much is certain. Onward, smiling. . . .
