As an international leader in breast cancer research, Dr. Olopade continues to help scientists—and the public—gain a greater understanding of the disease. An expert on individualized treatment for breast cancer, she has a special interest in women of African descent, who are at higher risk for more aggressive cancers and at a younger age. Also joining us will be Dr. Mary Ann Malloy, noted area physician, journalist and NBC5 health reporter. Please join us for a fascinating and inspiring conversation on this important topic.

This program is another of the Library’s MacArthur Fellows Science Series programs and is presented in partnership with Science Chicago: Life’s A Lab, with generous support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation through the Chicago Public Library Foundation.
