CITEC's Rebecca Richards-Kortum, Ph.D, finds her niche in global health
In recognition of International Women’s Day (March 8), we’re featuring a bioengineer who has inspired inclusion (this year’s theme) by her global contributions to women’s health.
Rebecca Richards-Kortum, Ph.D., a professor of bioengineering at Rice University in Houston, has always been interested in solving women’s health challenges. For the past two decades, she’s been doing it on a global scale.
As co-director of the Rice360° Institute for Global Health Technologies, Richards-Kortum focuses her efforts on preventable conditions such as cervical cancer and newborn/infant mortality that disproportionately affect women in low-income areas.
