Vice Chair of Research Announced!

Loretta Cordova de Ortega, M.D., Chair of the Department of Pediatrics, has announced the appointment of Stuart S. Winter, M.D. as Vice Chair for Research for the Department of Pediatrics commencing April 15, 2011.  The creation of the Vice Chair of Research position is critical for the Department in moving forward in our Research mission; Dr. Winter has a strong vision and the drive to lead this program.  Dr. Winter joined Pediatric faculty with the division of Hematology and Oncology in 1995 as an Assistant Professor, he achieved the rank of Professor with Tenure in 2007.  Dr. Winter has served as Division Chief of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology.  Throughout his career, Dr. Winter has made research a priority and has enjoyed a long collaborative history with the Children’s Oncology Group.  His research has focused on the goal of improving the outcome for children being treated for precursor-B and T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia.  As Vice Chair of Research, Dr. Winter will construct a coherent research vision for the Department, develop an administrative infrastructure that allows for increased research opportunities for all faculty, and recruit new faculty to contribute to the research needs of New Mexican children.  Through these and other efforts already underway in the UNM Health Sciences Center, we hope to create a brighter future for the children of New Mexico and around the world.
