Armin D. Weinberg, PhD, Professor, Department of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and Director of the Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Research Center

Dr. Weinberg has directed the Center since its inception in 1987 as the Center for Cancer Control Research. He began his career at Baylor in 1975 as Director of the Education Division of the DeBakey Heart Center. He is the principal investigator of the EDICT (Eliminating Disparities in Clinical Trials) project. Launched in 2005, the EDICT initiative is a research study designed to address the problems and find workable solutions to recruiting and retaining populations that are underrepresented in clinical trials such as low income, elderly, racial-ethnic minorities or those who live in rural areas. Dr. Weinberg’s efforts have successfully kept Baylor involved in prevention, screening, and control activities at both the state, national and international levels.
