    After receiving his PhD in biostatistics at the University of Washington, Gilbert moved to Zelen’s department at Harvard, focusing on analyzing and designing clinical trials to test treatments for HIV. From the beginning, he integrated students into his research, a theme that would continue throughout his career. In 2001, Gilbert’s doctoral mentor, UW biostatistician Steven Self, PhD, enticed him back to Seattle to support the rapidly expanding statistical science developments at Fred Hutch.

    In 2023, Jack David was on his family’s annual trip to Priest Lake, Idaho, when he woke up in the middle of that vacation and felt a swollen lymph node.
