Matt Gibson is leaving his post as dean of the Graduate School at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City, Mo., to become president of the Stowers Institute itself, effective July 1, 2024.

"When I first came to the Stowers Institute, we did not have a graduate school," Gibson says in a press release.

"With the founding and growth of our PhD program, we are now an institution dedicated to creating not only exceptional science and but also exceptional scientists."

Gibson, who has been with the Stowers Institute since 2006, says he is "particularly excited about the prospect of further enhancing an environment where fundamental and curiosity-driven research can flourish as we train the next generation of scientists."
