The Black Barbie - CRA (Clinical Research Associate) Edition panel celebrates the power of representation and reimagines what it means to be a leader in clinical research. Inspired by the cultural icon, this session will explore how diverse representation, particularly of Black women, can transform the clinical research landscape by inspiring the next generation of professionals and breaking down stereotypes. This panel brings together trailblazing Black women in clinical research who are redefining what it means to be a Clinical Research Associate (CRA). Panelists will share their journeys, challenges, and successes as they navigate a field where representation often falls short. They will also discuss the importance of visibility in leadership roles, mentorship, and fostering an inclusive environment for Black women in clinical research. By connecting the symbolism of the Black Barbie with the real-world impact of CRAs, this session will inspire attendees to embrace their own power, challenge norms, and help build a more inclusive industry.

Our breast radiation oncologist Dr. Eleanor Walker recently spoke with Randi Myles about a new study that aims to uncover why Black women in the United States have higher incidences of cancer and other health conditions. "The [VOICES of Black Women] study is open to cancer-free Black women ages 25 to 55 who live in geographic areas, like Michigan, where we see 90% of Black women living and working," explained Dr. Walker. "The American Cancer Society did the population study that first showed the connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer or the connection between obesity and the risk of early death. This study is brand new and something we're trying to do for Black women to understand how cancer develops in our population and what may be some of the risk factors." Dr. Walker shared they expect to start seeing what behavioral, environmental or lived experiences may or may not influence cancer risk within 5 years of the study. The goal is to have the study lead to new treatments and strategies for preventing and treating cancer in Black women.

Pioneer Spotlight: Dr. Jane C. Wright This week, we are shining a light on the remarkable Dr. Jane C. Wright, a true trailblazer in clinical research and cancer treatment. Dr. Wright’s pioneering work continues to shape the field of oncology and inspire future generations of researchers, particularly women in STEM. Here are a few incredible facts about her impact: 1️⃣ Chemotherapy Innovator: Dr. Wright is renowned for her groundbreaking contributions to the development of chemotherapy. Her research helped transform chemotherapy from an experimental approach into a mainstream cancer treatment option, saving countless lives. 2️⃣ Leader in Drug Testing: She was one of the first to use human tissue culture rather than lab mice to test the effects of chemotherapy drugs, advancing personalized treatment strategies. 3️⃣ Breaking Barriers: As one of the highest-ranking Black women in American medicine during her time, she co-founded the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and served as the first woman elected to its board of directors. Dr. Jane C. Wright’s legacy is a testament to the power of innovation and perseverance in the fight against cancer. Let us continue to honor her by pushing the boundaries of research and inclusion in science. #bwicr #CancerResearcHER #WomenInSTEM #ClinicalResearchPioneer #Trailblazer #clinicaltrial #clinicalresearch #clinicalresearcHER #clinicalresearchassociate
