Leadership and Oversight

The Institute benefits from the active participation of a Board of Trustees composed of 16 prominent persons drawn both from the local community and from out of state, representing the business, legal, financial and biomedical fields. TBRI's research programs are overseen on a regular basis by a Scientific Advisory Council (SAC). Currently the SAC is composed of three eminent scientists:

• Dr. G. Yancey Gillespie , Director of the Brain Tumor Research Laboratories in the Division of Neurosurgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham
• Dr. Bernard Roizman, the Joseph Regenstein Distinguished Service Professor in the Departments of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago
• Dr. Richard Whitley, Director of the Division of Clinical Virology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham

The latter two SAC members also served on President George W. Bush's Blue Ribbon Commission on Bioterrorism.
