Celebrating Female Leadership in Medical Research

In this TOGA Podcast, and on International Women’s Day 2023, we celebrate female leadership in medical research. We explore the challenges and success pathways across different career stages for women who work in medical oncology and clinical research. Associate Professor Prunella Blinman, head of the medical oncology department at Concord Hospital and past chair of the Medical Oncology Group of Australia, is joined by Assistant Professor Narjust Florez, Associate Director of the Cancer Care Equity Program and a thoracic medical oncologist at the Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center; Professor Lorraine Chantrill, medical oncologist and Head of Service for Medical Oncology across the Illawarra and Area Clinical Director of Clinical Trials; and Dr Rebecca Tay, medical oncologist at Royal Hobart Hospital and former clinical research fellow in lung cancer at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester, United Kingdom. https://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/JCO.2019.37.15_suppl.10503 Support TOGA Thank you for listening to Conversations in Lung Cancer Research.
