About the Presenter
Dr. Joan Borysenko earned her doctorate in Medical Sciences from Harvard Medical School, where she completed post-doctoral training in cancer cell biology. After the death of her father from cancer, she became more interested in the person with the illness than the disease itself. She returned to Harvard Medical School to complete a second post-doctoral fellowship in the field of behavioral medicine.
