FALLS CHURCH, VA – October 1, 2015 – Inova today announced that James Wade, MD, has been named Deputy Director for Quality and Network Development, Inova Dwight and Martha Schar Cancer Institute (ISCI). Dr. Wade is a medical oncologist with additional board certification in infectious diseases, and he holds a master’s of public health from Johns Hopkins University, and an MBA from Marquette University.

Dr. Wade has held faculty positions at Johns Hopkins University, University of Maryland, University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and Medical College of Wisconsin prior to his most recent position as Chairman at Geisinger Cancer Institute. He has also served on two occasions as an advanced training fellow with Brent James Intermountain Institute for Healthcare Research.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Jim to Inova,” said Dr. Donald Trump, CEO of ISCI. “His background makes him a perfect fit for the work ahead of us, ensuring we deliver the best and most comprehensive care possible to cancer patients throughout Inova and beyond. That’s what he is good at – developing the processes and tools we need to enable quality and excellence.”

The Inova Dwight and Martha Schar Cancer Institute is an international center for advanced cancer care and research. Collaborating with clinical and scientific partners, ISCI conducts genomic and translational research to better understand, predict, prevent, and eliminate cancer. This personalized health approach enables ISCI to create individualized treatments and preventive analytics to predict illness for every unique individual and family it serves.

ISCI will be a cornerstone of the new Inova Center for Personalized Health (ICPH), announced earlier this year. ICPH will be a unique, internationally prominent hub for discovery, prevention, health and longevity that will connect researchers, clinicians and empowered consumers.
