Congratulations to Dr. Berg

Dr. Wendie Berg has been honored with the Dr. Bernard F. Fisher Chair for Breast Cancer Clinical Science award. Dr. Berg was nominated for this prestigious award because of her substantial contributions to the field of breast cancer imaging research, outstanding clinical care, education, and patient advocacy. Wendie’s scientific contributions are too numerous to recount in this email, but her work has been primarily focused on improving early imaging based detection of breast cancer, particularly in women with dense breasts or a personal history of breast cancer.

She is highly sought after as a national and international expert speaker in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa for her work on breast US and MRI and density education efforts. Her personal advocacy for patients was demonstrated by the creation of the educational website DenseBreast-info.org, for which she is the voluntary Chief Scientific Advisor. Congratulations to Dr. Berg for her prolific work and for receiving this prestigious award.
