Dr. Mary Klotman, Dean of the Duke School of Medicine, announced earlier this week that Lesley Curtis, PhD, has been named Chair of the Department of Population Health Sciences (PHS). Curtis has served as Interim Chair of the new department since July 2017, when creation of the department was approved by the Duke University Board of Trustees.
“Dr. Curtis is an outstanding scientist and a visionary leader," says Klotman. "She was a key driver and instrumental in the creation of this new department and will be the impetus for the department’s future growth and success.”
