Gopal holds faculty appointments in the UNC School of Medicine and UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, and is a member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and the UNC Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases.<\/p>\n<div id=\"content-area\">\n<div id=\"parent-fieldname-text\" class=\"plain\">\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThe global cancer burden is enormous. About two-thirds of cancer deaths occur each year in low- and middle-income countries, and that\u2019s increasing,\u201d Gopal said. \u201cNCI can hopefully play a key role in addressing cancer as a truly global public health problem,\u201d he added. \u201cStudying cancer everywhere should benefit cancer patients everywhere.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSatish\u2019s training and faculty time in sub-Saharan Africa allowed him to truly understand the cancer burden, leading to both thoughtful and important publications and a national reputation in the emerging field of global oncology,\u201d said Shelton Earp, MD, director of UNC Lineberger. \u201cHe understands firsthand the challenges a cancer diagnosis poses in communities and countries in which the care resources might not readily available. He not only cared for cancer patients in Malawi, he helped build a care system for UNC Project-Malawi that in turn allowed him, his colleagues and trainees to perform the research that will continue to make a difference. He is one of those rare individuals whose inspirational work is helping to build an academic field and attract students and other trainees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the NCI, Gopal will provide oversight and the strategic vision for global research into the prevention and treatment of cancer, promote cancer control efforts in collaboration with non-governmental partners and work with U.S. federal agencies within and outside the National Institutes of Health to brief them on the NCI activities with respect to global cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The NCI Center for Global Health is a program with an annual budget of approximately $13 million. The center helps manage the NCI portfolio of grants and projects in 126 countries. Its key functions are to coordinate NCI\u2019s international research collaborations, promote cancer control planning, set priorities and implement and evaluate the NCI\u2019s work in global health.<\/p>\n<p>According to Myron S. Cohen, MD, director of the UNC Institute of Global Health and Infectious Diseases and associate vice chancellor for global health and medical affairs at UNC-Chapel Hill: \u201cDr. Gopal completed his combined fellowship training at UNC in infectious diseases and oncology with the express goal of building a world-class cancer program at UNC-Project Malawi, which he has done with remarkable success over the past decade. Satish\u2019s commitment, knowledge and \u2018on the ground\u2019 expertise make him a truly unique candidate to lead the NCI Center for Global Health. In this position, we can safely anticipate improvement in cancer detection, treatment and care, worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As cancer program director for UNC Project-Malawi, Gopal lived in Malawi with his family from 2012-2019. He cared for patients at the Kamuzu Central Hospital Cancer Clinic and led a multidisciplinary cancer research program involving an international team of investigators while also traveling back to Chapel Hill frequently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was interested in the position primarily because of the deep and demonstrable commitment of the NCI to addressing cancer as a global problem,\u201d Gopal said. \u201cThere\u2019s enormous need in international settings, but also there\u2019s often extremely limited infrastructure to address global cancer, as well as extremely limited scientific evidence about how to effectively address global cancer. So much research has historically been done in high-resource settings and populations, and it\u2019s often very difficult to know how to extrapolate this information to low- and middle-income environments, and even to more vulnerable communities within the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gopal grew up in North Carolina and received his bachelor\u2019s degree at UNC-Chapel Hill and his medical degree at Duke University. He completed residency training in internal and pediatrics at the University of Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>When he finished residency, Gopal moved to Tanzania from 2007 to 2009 to care for patients with HIV, teaching and testing the viability of a future global health career abroad. Drawn to UNC for its unique track record in global health research and care, Gopal returned to Chapel Hill to complete a fellowship in medical oncology and infectious diseases at the UNC School of Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>UNC has been conducting HIV and STD research in Malawi since 1990, when it began a collaboration with the Malawi Ministry of Health. UNC Project-Malawi was formed in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his role with UNC Project-Malawi, Gopal has also held leadership roles with the AIDS Malignancy Consortium and served as the NCI Global Health Working Group co-chair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been successful in Malawi because we\u2019ve done a good job navigating the balance between asking and answering questions that are important to Malawi but that could also have global importance and implications,\u201d Gopal said. \u201cWe\u2019ve done this while always respecting the priorities of our local partners and the Malawian people, and the significant cultural and logistical constraints imposed by the environment. That\u2019s not easy to do and is a hallmark of what we have built in Malawi.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"viewlet-below-content-body\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"viewlet-below-content\">\n<div id=\"portlets-below\" class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"cell BelowPortletManager4 width-full position-0\">\n<div id=\"portletwrapper-436f6e74656e7457656c6c506f72746c6574732e42656c6f77506f72746c65744d616e61676572340a636f6e746578740a2f6e657773726f6f6d2f6e6577730a6164642d74686973\" class=\"portletWrapper kssattr-portlethash-436f6e74656e7457656c6c506f72746c6574732e42656c6f77506f72746c65744d616e61676572340a636f6e746578740a2f6e657773726f6f6d2f6e6577730a6164642d74686973\">\n<div class=\"portletStaticText portlet-static-add-this\">Share This:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Cancer Institute has named Satish Gopal, MD, MPH, director of the NCI Center for Global Health.\u00a0 Gopal is a physician-scientist who led the cancer program for UNC Project-Malawi, a research and care collaboration between the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Malawi Ministry of Health, since 2012.
