After twelve years as founding director, Dr. Mary (Nora) Disis
, professor, (Hematology and Oncology) will pass directorship of the UW Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) to Dr. John Amory,

Amory’s first years of leadership will be dedicated to building on the success established over the twelve years of Disis’ tenure.
