Robert A. Winn, M.D. leads one of the nation’s premier NCI-designated cancer centers, advancing a 21st-century model of equity in cancer science and care. Under his leadership, Massey integrates cutting-edge research, clinical excellence, and deep community partnerships to ensure that cancer prevention and treatment innovations reach all populations equitably. A physician-scientist, Dr. Winn’s research explores how molecular signaling pathways (WNTs, PRMT, KSRP) drive lung cancer and how environmental and social factors influence biological outcomes and health equity.

He co-founded Facts & Faith Fridays, a national dialogue bridging science and community trust, and is namesake of the Robert A.
