Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center has named Dr. Boris Pasche director of its newly expanded Comprehensive Cancer Center on its main Winston-Salem campus.
Pasche follows Dr. Frank Torti in the position, who left the cancer center in 2012 to become dean of the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. Pasche begins his new role March 1.
"Following an extensive national search, we have recruited an internationally known and truly outstanding physician scientist to lead the Comprehensive Cancer Center," said Wake Forest Baptist CEO Dr. John McConnell.
A native of Switzerland, Pasche comes to Winston-Salem from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he is now director of the division of hematology and oncology.
He's a second UAB researcher and official to join the top ranks at Wake Forest Baptist. Dr. Edward Abraham, now dean of the Wake Forest School of Medicine, came to Winston-Salem from UAB, where he had served as chair of the department of medicine and of medical science leadership.
