Nobel laureate Lee Hartwell to retire as president and director of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
[Source: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center] - Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center board of trustees today announced that its president and director, Lee Hartwell, Ph.D., plans to retire in June 2010. Hartwell, a recipient of the 2001 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, has been president and director of the Hutchinson Center since 1997.
“It’s time,” Hartwell said. “I have been president and director of the Center for 12 years. It’s time for new leadership.” Hartwell, who will turn 70 in October, says he informed the board’s executive committee more than a year ago of his desire to retire and to begin the transition to new leadership. The exact timing of his departure was worked out over the last few months. The full board, faculty and staff were notified during the past two days.
