[TOP]Executive Director, Animal Care & Use Program
Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN
03/06/26
Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), in partnership with Vanderbilt University (VU), seeks an accomplished senior leader to serve as Executive Director of the Animal Care & Use Program (ACUP). Reporting to executive research leadership at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the Executive Director holds institution-wide responsibility for the strategy, performance, and integrity of Vanderbilt’s animal research enterprise.
Animal research is foundational to Vanderbilt’s discovery and translational research mission and operates at a significant scale across VUMC, Vanderbilt University, and affiliated research environments. The ACUP is administered centrally by VUMC and encompasses animal care operations, veterinary clinical services, regulatory compliance and IACUC support, and comparative and translational pathology services. As a result, the Executive Director functions not as a narrow compliance or committee-support leader, but as the senior enterprise steward of a complex, highly regulated, and mission-critical program.
The Executive Director serves as the single point of ownership for the ACUP’s operational stability, regulatory posture, veterinary leadership, and long-term readiness. This leader is expected to engage regularly with senior institutional officials, advising on animal research capacity, infrastructure needs, institutional risk, and strategic tradeoffs. The role also includes serving as, or overseeing, the Attending Veterinarian function, elevating veterinary authority and animal welfare decision-making into Vanderbilt’s executive leadership framework.
This search reflects Vanderbilt’s recognition that leadership of animal research sits at the core of the institution’s research enterprise and reputational responsibility. The successful candidate will bring the judgment, credibility, and executive presence to steward a large, visible program—earning the confidence of faculty, researchers, staff, regulators, and senior leadership, while enabling ethical, high-quality research at scale.
VUMC has partnered with Isaacson, Miller, a national executive search firm, to help with this recruitment. Confidential inquiries, nominations, and applications may be submitted to Isaacson, Miller as indicated at the end of this document. For more information, please visit:

Section of Comparative Medicine
The Comparative Medicine section has a growing multidisciplinary team of thirteen PhD, DVM, and DVM/DACVP scientists who are uniquely skilled in translational research using nonhuman primates. Areas of research strength include aging, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, behavioral neurobiology, radiation effects, cancer, and pediatric/developmental programming. Comparative Medicine faculty serve as the center for nonhuman primate model expertise and provide research services to other investigators. The Section is also home to two NIH-funded national resource nonhuman primate (NHP) colonies (the Vervet Research Colony consisting of over 300 genotyped and pedigreed vervet monkeys, and the NIAID Radiation Late Effects Cohort, consisting of over 150 rhesus monkeys previously exposed to radiation) with a total population of approximately 500 NHPs. Additional onsite resources available to faculty include: 1) imaging capabilities for large animals (CT/DEXA/ PET/CT), and 2) MRIa linear accelerator onsite; 3) a ~2600 sq ft ABSL-3 facility; 4) Comparative Medicine Veterinary Pathology Core; and 5) the Preclinical Translational Research Services Core. These primate resources provide abundant research opportunities and serve as magnets for collaborative work.
Comparative Medicine faculty and resources are mainly located on the 200-acre Thomas B Clarkson Campus where School of Medicine researchers have conducted research for nearly 60 years using a variety of animal models, with the majority of research in nonhuman primates. The Campus also has a large community outreach program that has brought more than 4,000 visitors (mostly students) to our facility to learn more about biomedical research careers and the importance of research in improving human health. The Department also administers several shared research facilities, which are available to investigators throughout the institution. These facilities include Cellular Imaging, Digital Pathology Core, and Comparative Pathology Laboratory.
Research
The Department of Pathology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine leads robust research programs spanning comparative medicine, particularly non-human primate studies in aging, dementia, cardiovascular and infectious diseases, metabolism, and oncology, as well as clinical pathology with a focus on oncology, digital pathology, artificial intelligence, and biomarker discovery. The department aligns its research priorities with the institutional research plan, fostering multidisciplinary collaborations and supporting translational research that bridges basic science and clinical applications.
Research activity is supported by substantial external funding, averaging $10–13 million annually over the past eight years, with approximately $10 million from NIH and $2 million from other federal, state, or private sources. The department has recently recruited new investigators and is expanding its expertise, highlighted by major NIH awards (P40 Vervet Colony, U01 Radiation Survivor Cohort) and training grants (T32, T35). The newly established Primate Research Center, directed by Dr. Mark Cline, integrates basic and clinical research, enhancing institutional synergies and positioning WFUSM as a leader in translational research using non-human primate models. Faculty actively collaborate with other centers including the Center of AI Research, Alzheimer Disease Research Center, Brain Tumor Center of Excellence, Levine Cancer Institute, the Claude D.
