Walter Koroshetz, director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) within the NIH, has been removed from his position. His departure will take place in the next few days. The move adds to a leadership turnover that includes nearly half of the institute. Koroshetz joined NINDS in 2007 as deputy director and became director after the departure of Story Landis in 2014. He has been involved in initiatives such as the BRAIN Initiative, the NIH HEAL Initiative, and Huntington's disease research. In 2011, NIH spent $65 million on Huntington's disease research. His removal is part of a broader operational turmoil at NIH."[1][2][3][4][5][6
