About the author

Hello I am Christopher Albert

Cancer Researcher Global Explorer Storytelling Scientist

Dr. Chris Loffredo has spent more than two decades chasing answers to some of the world’s most urgent health questions. As a leading cancer researcher and professor at Georgetown University’s Department of Oncology, his work has taken him from high-tech labs in Washington, DC to the dusty backroads of rural Africa and Southeast Asia.

But Chris isn’t just a scientist—he’s a connector, a communicator, and a global citizen. Whether he’s unraveling liver disease risk factors in Egypt or navigating language barriers in Scandinavia, he brings humanity, humility, and humor to every encounter.

In Globetrotting for Science, Chris steps out of the lab and into the narrative spotlight—sharing the stories behind the science, the misadventures behind the milestones, and the people who made every journey unforgettable. His writing reflects a lifelong commitment to curiosity, compassion, and cultural respect.

“My work has always been about more than data. It’s about understanding people—their environments, their stories, and their struggles. That’s where real change begins.”
— Dr. Christopher Loffredo
