Dr. Swanson was recently named the James D. Murray Endowed Chair of Applied Mathematics in Neuropathology (effective January 2011) in recognition of her continued and pioneering work in patient-specific mathematical neuro-oncology.
This endowed chair is part of the Alvord Brain Tumor Center. The center’s mission is to fuel collaborative basic, translational and clinical research into brain tumors and neurologic complications of cancer. Our shared goal is to advance knowledge of brain tumor biology and to use this new knowledge to improve the care of patients with brain tumors.
