Welcome to this week's episode of Isn’t That Interesting?! In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Jessica Tao, a medical oncologist at Johns Hopkins Medicine. She was awarded a $20,000 grant from earlier.org in 2022 for “Early Detection of Breast Cancer Using Liquid Biopsy Approaches.”

Dr. Jessica Tao is a medical oncologist specializing in the care of patients with breast cancer. She co-leads the Cancer Center-wide Johns Hopkins Molecular Tumor Board, a multidisciplinary effort to interpret complex genomic information and provide individualized, precision oncology treatment recommendations to patients with all types of cancer.

In addition to caring for patients, Dr. Tao maintains an active clinical-translational research program dedicated to developing novel treatments to patients with advanced cancer. Her expertise and research focuses on finding and targeting the molecular changes that drive a person’s tumor and understanding novel mechanisms of response and resistance to targeted therapies. A second major area of her research is development and application of “liquid biopsy” technologies, including circulating tumor DNA, in the early detection and disease monitoring of breast cancer.

A huge THANK YOU to Laura Lomax and Phil Barbee — and your wonderful family — for hosting Stew for the Girls, a fantastic fundraiser benefiting earlier.org! 💗

The stew was delicious, and the signature “Uncle Percy’s Mule” prepared by our favorite bartender, Phil, was a crowd favorite (of course!).

And thank you to Panera Bread/Covelli Enterprises for your donation of the baguettes. They complemented the stew perfectly.

We’re so grateful for your generosity, hospitality, and commitment to earlier.org. 💕
