With over two decades of experience under her belt, Nina brings a wealth of knowledge to her new role. Prior to joining Exigent, she was Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Alliances at Flatiron Health, where she played a crucial role in launching key initiatives that fostered collaboration across the oncology community.

The Exigent Research Network was born from a collaboration between the Quality Cancer Care Alliance (QCCA) and the National Cancer Care Alliance (NCCA). The organization’s approach aims to democratize access to clinical cancer research from the point of patient care. This model helps patients connect with the best and most innovative trials within their communities while furthering collective oncology knowledge across an extensive network of practices.
As Exigent Research Network embarks on this next chapter with Nina Chavez at the helm of growth initiatives, the future looks hopeful for independent oncology practices seeking to advance their research capabilities.
