Elena Fuentes-Afflick, M.D., M.P.H., chief scientific officer of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), chief scientific officer of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and a leading voice in support of research, joined “Inside U Miami Medicine” to tackle challenging questions and provide insight for scientists at all stages of their academic career.
“University-led research and discovery, which is supported through the federal government, has impacted every single American family,”
Dr. Fuentes-Afflick has emerged as a leading voice in support of federally funded research. She was appointed to her role at the AAMC in July 2024 and by early 2025, the organization was urgently advocating to preserve funding for scientific research across the country, as the National Institutes of Health began scaling back on grant distribution.
“We are advocating every day for the value and the impact of the research and science that is conducted at our institutions,” said Fuentes-Afflick.
