Speakers
Dr. Soufianne El Hallani
I am a molecular pathologist and gynecologic pathologist at the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology. My research is focused on advancing Precision Medicine in the gynecologic tract cancers, including ovarian and uterine cancers. My goal is to incorporate molecular diagnostics and image analysis (artificial intelligence) into the early detection, diagnosis (classification), prognosis, clinical management and monitoring of these cancers by translating the scientific knowledge into clinical tests. I am particularly interested in developing innovative molecular and tissue imaging biomarkers for gynecologic borderline tumors to increase the diagnostic accuracy, predict their biologic behaviors and guide the treatment strategy.

Dr. Brooke Howitt
Brooke E. Howitt, MD, is an Associate Professor in the Pathology Department at Stanford University. She received a BA in Biology from Washington University in St. Louis and then obtained her medical degree from Stanford University. Dr. Howitt then completed an Anatomic Pathology residency and the Women's and Perinatal Pathology Fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital where she stayed on as faculty. Dr. Howitt joined Stanford in 2017. She has co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles and numerous book chapters. Dr. Howitt is on editorial boards for Modern Pathology, International Journal of Gynecologic Pathology, and Human Pathology. Her research interests focus on gynecologic neoplasms and their precursor lesions, aiming to better understand morphologic and molecular alterations associated with clinical relevance.
