Retired U.S. Navy Captain Pius Aiyelawo is the new chief operating officer at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center.
Aiyelawo, an Ashburn resident, took the helm this week of the largest hospital devoted to clinical research in the nation.
“I am grateful to the NIH senior leadership and Dr. Gilman for this opportunity and truly humbled to be selected as the Chief Operating Officer of the finest and premiere research hospital in the world,” he said.
