Please join us for a Brown Bag Seminar in collaboration with Rutgers Global Health Institute on Thursday, January 16. We will be joined virtually by Dr. Temidayo Fadelu, Deputy Director of the Center for Global Health Equity in the Division of Population Sciences at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He will discuss “Improving breast cancer care in resource-limited settings: examples from Rwanda and Haiti.”

Dr. Fadelu has a clinical and research focus in global breast cancer. He engages in implementation research projects in Rwanda and Haiti to address global inequities in breast cancer care. Originally from Nigeria, Dr. Fadelu moved to the U.S. for his undergraduate education at Baylor University. He earned his medical degree from Yale University School of Medicine and completed his training in internal medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He then moved to Rwanda to serve as clinical and programmatic implementation lead for an oncology program based at the Butaro Cancer Center of Excellence in rural northern Rwanda, where he coordinated several major initiatives including the implementation of pathology and palliative care services. He subsequently completed his fellowship training in medical oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, during which he also earned a master’s in public health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
