Oluwadamilola Oladeru, MD, MBA, MA

My career reflects a deep commitment to advancing breast cancer research and addressing disparities in oncology care. As a radiation oncologist specializing in breast cancer, I have spearheaded numerous research initiatives that explore the intersection of health equity and breast cancer outcomes. My work includes translational research on aggressive triple-negative breast cancer subtypes, which disproportionately affect African American patients. These studies have provided valuable insights into the biological and social determinants driving disparities in outcomes for underserved populations. As the Breast Disease Site Co-Lead at Mayo Clinic Florida’s Radiation Oncology Department, I have led innovative clinical trials, including investigator-initiated protocols focused on optimizing treatment strategies for high-risk breast cancer patients. My role as Health Disparities Co-Chair for NRG Oncology underscores my dedication to fostering inclusivity in clinical research. I have also been deeply involved in education and policy initiatives to promote breast cancer awareness and screening. As a funded investigator, I have established a robust research portfolio that bridges clinical, translational, and health equity domains for vulnerable patient populations such as the homeless and incarcerated. Through my research, leadership, and advocacy, I aim to improve outcomes for breast cancer patients by addressing both the molecular underpinnings of aggressive disease and the systemic barriers to equitable care. My goal is to ensure that every patient—regardless of background—has access to the highest standard of cancer care.
