Patrice Milos ’80: Using Research and Analytics to Challenge Cancer

Dr. Patrice Milos ’80 loves science, innovation, and business challenges, arguably in that order. That’s obvious from her resume, which begins with postdoctoral positions at Harvard and Brown University, follows with 14 years of executive leadership at Pfizer, and most recently includes CEO experience at a handful of biotech startups.

The goal is a user-friendly software product that seamlessly interfaces with data from pharmaceutical and molecular diagnostic organizations. “We’re trying to invent the next phase of how to treat cancer,” she says.
