Our first event this year was a presentation and Q&A with Dr. Dianna Milewicz, MD, PhD. She is the President George H.W. Bush Chair of Cardiovascular Medicine, Director of the Division of Medical Genetics and Vice-Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) McGovern Medical School. Dr. Milewicz has also been the Director of the M.D./Ph.D. Program offered jointly between the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and MD Anderson Cancer Center institutions for over 10 years and is the Chair of the GREAT MD/PhD Section Committee.
Dr. Milewicz is also a Rice alumna! At our Q&A, she talked about her path, what motivated her to become a physician-scientist, and all the great work she has done in her career.
