REGINA VIDAVER, PhD
Executive Director
National Lung Cancer Partnership

Dr. Regina Vidaver is the Executive Director of National Lung Cancer Partnership (formerly Women Against Lung Cancer), a group of leading doctors, researchers, patient advocates, and lung cancer survivors who are working together to improve treatments for lung cancer patients. We are dedicated to raising public awareness of the disease and generating funding for lung cancer research.

Prior to her appointment with National Lung Cancer Partnership, she served as a Scientific Programs Manager at the Society for Women’s Health Research in Washington, DC, where she oversaw programs focused on sex differences in biology. Dr. Vidaver was lead author on a seminal report showing that substantial portions of NIH-funded research had not analyzed data by sex of the subjects, contrary to Federal mandate. She also served as an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science and Engineering Fellow at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va.

Dr. Vidaver holds a PhD in molecular biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a BA from Amherst College in Amherst, Mass.
