The breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure announced Monday that a physician with a long career in health policy and research, Judith A. Salerno, would become its new president and chief executive. She succeeds Nancy Brinker, Komen’s founder, who said last summer she would step down after an onslaught of criticism over Komen’s decision, which was quickly reversed, to stop giving grants to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screenings. Dr. Salerno, 61, is executive director and chief operating officer of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, an independent group that advises the government and private sector about health and science. The Komen foundation has seen several executives leave and numbers fall at its fund-raising Races for the Cure after the Planned Parenthood controversy.
