New Jersey radiologist appointed to CDC’s advisory breast cancer committee
A New Jersey-based radiologist has been selected for the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Breast Cancer in Young Women, the American College of Radiology announced this week.
Nicole Saphier, MD, is a board-certified radiologist and the director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Monmouth, New Jersey, where she settled after advanced fellowship training in breast and oncologic imaging. She’s often in the public eye, according to a release, making frequent reporting appearances on cable news networks like MSNBC and FOX.
Saphier also serves on the New Jersey Department of Health Breast Imaging Work Group, the executive and legislative committees of the Radiological Society of New Jersey and the Morris Township Board of Health.
According to her website, she challenges the “archaic stereotype” of radiologists and “breaks the barrier between the reading room, patients and clinicians.”
After graduating from Indiana University-Bloomington with a bachelor’s in journalism, Anicka joined TriMed’s Chicago team in 2017 covering cardiology. Close to her heart is long-form journalism, Pilot G-2 pens, dark chocolate and her dog Harper Lee.
