2018- Advisory Board

ICEC’s Advisory Board is comprised of a highly motivated group of individuals interested in advancing the efforts of the organization to improve access to high-quality cancer care globally. Advisory Board members guide and support the governance work of the board as well as some of the management assignments carried out by staff. Their individual expertise is valuable to the organization as they serve as both ambassadors and emissaries to our constituents and serve as scientific, programmatic, and development advisors performing important duties, such as program evaluation, fundraising and advocacy.

Jacob van Dyke and Yakov Pipman, members of Medical Physics for World Benefit, have contributed significantly to ICEC’s efforts to develop innovative ideas to improve radiation treatment systems capable of functioning in challenging environments. David Jaffray has also been instrumental in the development of this program. Other Advisory Board members making key contributions to further the mission of ICEC include Surbhi Grover regarding her on the ground experiences developing a cancer center in Botswana, Michael Friedman and Majid M. Mohiuddin, MD each contributing to our development efforts, and Keith Martin, PC, MD, (CUGH) and Danielle Rodin, both of whom have raised the visibility of ICEC in the global health landscape.
