The 2023 Lippard Lecture

Christina Curtis, PhD, MSc, has been selected as the recipient of the 2023 Judith Ann Lippard Memorial Lectureship. Dr. Curtis is Professor of Medicine, Genetics & Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University School of Medicine, where she is a Director of the Artificial Intelligence and Cancer Genomics and Director of Breast Cancer Translational Research. She will present her lecture, "Forecasting and exploiting tumor-host interactions," to the MIT and Koch Institute communities in the Luria Auditorium (76-156) on Friday, October 27. 

Dr. Curtis leverages computational modeling, high-throughput molecular profiling and experimentation to develop new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Her research has redefined the molecular map of breast cancer and led to new paradigms in understanding how human tumors evolve and metastasize.
