Todd’s research interests center on the development of treatment strategies for breast and other cancers, and the identification of mechanisms of therapeutic resistance. He completed his B.S. in Physiology & Neurobiology at the University of Connecticut in 1998, and his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences at the University at Albany in 2004. Following a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Carlos Arteaga at Vanderbilt University, he joined the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and the Dartmouth Cancer Center in 2012. He rose to the rank of Professor with tenure at Dartmouth in 2023, and then transitioned to the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center as a Professor in 2023.
