Three Researchers in NIH Controversy Are Leaving
(by David Willman, Los Angeles Times)
Francis S. Collins brings one of the more eclectic, and highly regarded, profiles to the Obama administration as director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). A leading figure in the completion of the Human Genome Project, which is considered one of the most important scientific accomplishments of our time, Collins brings a wealth of scientific credentials to the post. He also possesses a religious perspective that has rubbed some of his counterparts the wrong way, along with a deep love for motorcycles and rock music. He was confirmed by the Senate August 7, 2009.
