Infection Outbreak Calls Two NIH'ers Overseas By Carla Garnett
It started out as an ordinary consultation among colleagues. In early
June, two physicians from China attended a conference on current
technologies at the Clinical Center's department of transfusion
medicine. General transfusion and blood-handling issues were
discussed; a few lectures on the state of the science were given. The
meeting ended. The Chinese doctors, loaded with conference
handouts and other materials, returned home. Business -- or rather,
science -- as usual.
Dr. Gerald T. Keusch (pronounced Kersh) has been named new
associate director of NIH for international research and director of
the Fogarty International Center. He succeeds Dr. Philip Schambra,
who is retiring from NIH after more than 30 years, the last 10 as
FIC director.
