Olufunmilayo (Funmi) Olopade, MD, FACP, is the Walter L. Palmer Distinguished Service Professor of Medicine and Human Genetics and associate dean for global health. Dr. Olopade is an international leader in breast cancer research and is also an expert on the most aggressive forms of breast cancer, having developed novel management strategies based on an understanding of the altered genes in individual patients. Her current laboratory research is focused on using whole genome technologies and bioinformatics to develop innovative approaches to reducing global disparities in cancer outcomes. In 2011, President Barack Obama appointed Dr. Olopade as one of five new members of the National Cancer Advisory Board. Dr. Olopade has been the recipient of numerous honors, including the MacArthur Foundation "genius" award. The “Big Ideas in Medicine” series is part of the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine admitted student weekend. The panel of speakers features five leading physicians and scientists whose work has had a transformative impact in their respective fields. What will not be obvious from their talks is that students at Pritzker interact with these faculty members on a daily basis. They are our students’ teachers, mentors, and advisors, along with being our institution’s leaders. It is these daily interactions of students and faculty that provide Pritzker's enriching intellectual environment and unparalleled opportunities for our students to learn from some of the most important physicians and scientists in the country.
