In the March 2014 Faculty Forum Online, Linda G. Griffith, director of MIT’s Center for Gynepathology Research (CGR), shared new techniques for attacking endometriosis and research on systems biology and tissue engineering that has impact on clinical practice in gynecology. Follow the MIT Alumni Association on Twitter or use the hashtag #mitfaculty for live tweets during the event. Watch the archived webcast.

CGR brings together engineers, biologists, and clinicians to work on understanding of the basic biology, physiology, and pathophysiology of the female reproductive tract and the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.

Griffin faced some of the tough issues CGR works on when she had her own breast cancer diagnosis. Read about her journey in the New York Times article, “Cancer Fight: Unclear Tests for New Drug.”
