MSK picks brain can­cer ex­pert Lisa DeAn­ge­lis as its next CMO — fol­low­ing José Basel­ga’s con­tro­ver­sial ex­it

It’s of­fi­cial. Memo­r­i­al Sloan Ket­ter­ing has picked a brain can­cer ex­pert as its new physi­cian-in-chief and CMO, re­plac­ing José Basel­ga, who left un­der a cloud af­ter be­ing sin­gled out by The New York Times and ProP­ub­li­ca for fail­ing to prop­er­ly air his lu­cra­tive in­dus­try ties.

His re­place­ment, who now will be in charge of MSK’s cut­ting-edge re­search work as well as the can­cer care de­liv­ered by hun­dreds of prac­ti­tion­ers, is Lisa M. DeAn­ge­lis. DeAn­ge­lis had been chair of the neu­rol­o­gy de­part­ment and co-founder of MSK’s brain tu­mor cen­ter and was moved in to the act­ing CMO role in the wake of Basel­ga’s de­par­ture.
