so closely match my own experience and training," Lattman said. "The post represents a return to my scientific roots. The most important task of the CEO is to help the talented HWI faculty find new research directions and new mechanisms of support, and fine-grained understanding of what they do greatly enables this process."

Also speaking at the press conference were Dr. Donald (Skip) Trump, Roswell Park Cancer Institute CEO and President, Dr. Satish Tripathi, Provost of the University at Buffalo (UB), Dr. David Dunn, UB's Vice President for Health Sciences and Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus Board Chair Bill Joyce.

Lattman will oversee all of the institute's business and administration and help its 24 Ph.D.-level faculty members find research support and build on existing collaborations locally, nationally and internationally. Lattman, the sixth CEO in HWI's 52-year history, succeeds Dr. George DeTitta who has led the institute since 1999. DeTitta announced in April 2007 that effective April 2, 2008, he would return full-time to his HWI lab. The institute will be led in the interim by Dr. Walter A. Pangborn.

With the exception of post-doctoral work in the 1970s, Lattman has spent his academic career at JHU, beginning as a graduate student in Biophysics, and rising through the ranks to his current deanship. En route he served as professor of Biophysics in both the Schools of Medicine and of Arts and Sciences. He also served as chair of the department from which he gained his Ph.D. degree. He was instrumental in setting up the Hopkins Institute for Biophysical Research, a unit that has served as a focal point for the dramatic growth of biophysics across JHU. He played a groundbreaking role in the department's history by hiring the first women faculty members in the history of his department, and of being the principal investigator on the Molecular Biophysics NIH Training Grant which was awarded to JHU.
