Wake Forest University School of Medicine – Breast Cancer Research: From Bench to Bedside
Wake Forest University School of Medicine shared on LinkedIn:
“2024 Wrapped Meet Marissa Howard-McNatt, one of less than 20 African-American female surgeons with full professorships in the U.S. As a professor of surgical sciences – oncology, she’s breaking barriers and inspiring future generations.
From her all-girls undergrad to Harvard Medical School, she merged her passions for women’s health, surgery, and oncology to become a surgical breast oncologist. Now, she leads the Breast Care Center and co-leads the breast solid tumors board at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.
When not in the OR, she’s advancing patient care through research on breast neoplasms, disparity research, genetic testing, and more. Her work on the SHAVE Study and the I-SPY trial is groundbreaking.
Marissa is proud to be a professor of surgery and hopes to inspire young researchers. Her advice? Listen to your patients and collaborate with colleagues. Oh, and she’s also a wife, mother of three, and a musician!”
