Bhattacharya Tours NIH’s Bethesda Campus

NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and other senior staff toured campus on April 9. 

In the Clinical Center, they met with Dr. Steven Rosenberg, chief of the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI)surgery branch, to learn more about his groundbreaking immunotherapy research. They also were briefed by investigators in NCI’s Pediatric Oncology Branch. Then, after peering into the Clinical Center’s playroom and learning more about NIH’s bench-to-bedside work, the group headed to the Children’s Inn for a tour.

NIH leaders then boarded a campus shuttle where they saw the new Surgery, Radiology, and Laboratory Medicine wing under construction, the Cloisters, the Safra Family Lodge, the Vaccine Research Center, the Porter Neuroscience Research Center, the water tanks and the Central Utility Plant. 

Bhattacharya also stopped by NIH’s Division of Fire and Rescue Services to meet NIH first responders and toured the Center for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias.
