Dr. Faina Shtern, Executive Director of the AdMeTech Foundation, will discuss how, in the last ten years, the exploding awareness about prostate health is catalyzing new ideas and modalities for treatment of prostate conditions.
An important advocate behind these changes is the AdMeTech Foundation, headquartered right here in Boston. Much of the energy behind the foundation is its tireless executive director, Dr. Faina Shtern. Come hear her talk about the foundation's work in helping to revolutionize prostate treatment and to advocate for the overwhelming majority of men who, during their later years, will have to grapple with the embarrassments, anxieties and sometimes the difficult choices around prostate treatment. If you are a man, or have a man in your life whose health you care about, Dr. Shtern’s presentation will help you think more clearly about this sensitive topic.
Dr. Shtern has built her career providing international leadership for designing and implementing groundbreaking programs in prostate cancer research, education, awareness and advocacy, with the priority focus on the advancement of diagnostic tools. She has served as Chief of the Diagnostic Imaging Branch of the National Cancer Institute, Director of Radiology Research at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the Director of Research at the Department of Radiology at Children’s Hospital Boston. In each of these roles she has worked to develop multi-disciplinary partnerships of academia, government and industry to speed the development and implementation of novel, transformational radiologic technologies and minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases.
