Hosted by the Cancer Patient Lab Community
Joleen White, PhD
Understanding cancer biomarkers can feel overwhelming — from gene tests to tumor markers to complex lab reports. This webinar helps slow the information flow and explain, in clear and practical terms, what biomarkers mean and how they can support more confident conversations with your care team.
Joleen White, PhD, Senior Consultant at BioData Solutions, will lead the session. With extensive experience at organizations including the Gates MRI, EMD Serono, Biogen, Bristol Myers Squibb, and BioMarin, Joleen specializes in making scientific data approachable and patient centered. Her work focuses on helping teams design strategies that clarify how medicines work and how the body responds.
Attendees will learn the basics of predictive vs. prognostic biomarkers, how scientists assess whether tests truly guide treatment, and what makes a test reliable — including concepts like sensitivity and specificity. The goal: empower patients and families with clearer understanding and better questions.
