A PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT

Keynote Lecturer: Rebecca Richards-Kortum PhD
The AHNS Program Service is honored to have Rebecca Richards-Kortum PhD as the Keynote Lecturer.

Guided by the belief that all of the world’s people deserve access to health innovation, Rebecca Richards-Kortum’s research and teaching focus is on the development of low-cost, high-performance technologies for remote and low-resource settings. She is known for providing vulnerable populations with access to life-saving health technologies that address diseases and conditions that cause high morbidity and mortality, such as cervical and oral cancer, premature birth, sickle cell disease and malaria.

Current technologies are being tested and applied through multidisciplinary collaborations with clinicians and researchers at Rice, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston, and Northwestern University. International collaborations include researchers, clinicians and medical professionals at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and its MARCH (Maternal, Adolescent, Reproductive and Child Health) Centre; Barretos Cancer Hospital in Brazil; the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi; the University of Malawi College of Medicine and the University of Malawi Polytechnic. Over the past few years, Richards-Kortum and collaborators have translated technologies from North America to both low- and medium-resource developing countries in Malawi, China, Botswana, El Salvador, and Brazil.

For two decades, Richards-Kortum’s laboratory has focused on translating research that integrates advances in nanotechnology and molecular imaging with microfabrication technologies to develop optical imaging systems that are inexpensive, portable, and provide rapid point-of-care diagnosis. When used with contrast agents, these rugged and portable optical imaging systems detect molecular signatures of pre-cancer, assess tumor margins, and monitor a patient’s response to therapy.

We look forward to her presentation on Monday, July 10th at 10:00am.
