Marilza Vieira Cunha Rudge, vice chancellor of the Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), has been named to FAPESP’s Board of Trustees by São Paulo Governor Geraldo Alckmin. The new board member, who headed the list of three names submitted to the governor, was appointed to a six-year term of office and will fill the spot left open by Herman Jacobus Cornelis Voorwald, who completed his term. Rudge, who holds a medical degree from the Botucatu School of Medicine, has been on the Unesp faculty since 1971, where she is currently a full professor of obstetrics. Rudge was the force behind the creation of the Maternity School at the Botucatu Hospital das Clínicas. She also served as the superintendent of the Hospital das Clínicas (1999-2001) and director of Unesp’s Botucatu School of Medicine (2001-2004).
