NCI is pleased to announce that Gregory Reaman, MD, FASCO, is the new Scientific Director of the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI). Dr. Reaman joined the CCDI Leadership Team several months ago and has been part of CCDI since the beginning of the initiative. He comes to NCI with a career dedicated to caring for children with cancer and improving childhood cancer research.

Dr. Reaman has practiced medicine as a pediatric hematologist-oncologist and has held leadership positions in organizations like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Children’s Oncology Group, Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., and George Washington University School of Medicine.
