Dr. Joanne Kotsopoulos is a Scientist at the Women’s College Hospital, Professor at the University of Toronto and holds a Canada Research Chair in Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Prevention. For over two decades, she has directed a unique and interdisciplinary program of research aimed at identifying strategies that confer substantial cancer risk reduction and improve outcomes for BRCA carriers at high-risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. This critical work continues to inform international guidelines for the management of high-risk populations while furthering our understanding of hereditary cancer development. Her innovative research program focuses on women’s health across their lifespan, particularly during the (peri)menopausal transition, which is particularly complex in BRCA carriers given their predilection to develop early onset cancers and to undergo surgical menopause prior to age 45, impacting fertility, quality of life and overall health. As Hereditary Cancer Advisory Co-Lead (Peter Gilgan Centre for Women's Cancers), she leads knowledge translation efforts to educate healthcare providers and patient populations with evidence-based clinical, support, and education programs for women with a hereditary predisposition. Finally, she is dedicated and committed to teaching and mentoring students across various stages of their academic careers.

A dedicated philanthropist and mother of four, Lauren balances her passion for entrepreneurship with a dedication to community impact. 

Her commitment to health advocacy is deeply personal. In her mid-20s, Lauren discovered she carried the BRCA1 gene, a genetic mutation associated with a dramatically increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Taking a proactive approach to her health, she underwent a series of preventative measures—including a prophylactic double mastectomy, an oophorectomy, and hormone therapy—to minimize her risks. Today, she uses her social platform and personal journey to champion women's health and support others navigating a similar path.
