Upcoming Speaker: Magdalena Skipper, PhD
Post Date: September 11, 2025 | Publish Date:
Editor-in-chief of Nature joins Cincinnati Children’s virtually Sept. 30 to talk the future of research in improving child health.
Join us for an extraordinary opportunity to hear from an influential voice shaping the future of scientific publishing and research integrity. In our next Envisioning Our Future for Children speaker series event, Magdalena Skipper, PhD, brings a unique dual perspective as both a distinguished researcher and the editorial leader of one of the world’s most prestigious scientific journals.
Skipper’s research background spans fundamental biological processes that drive human development and disease. Her investigative work at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, focused on sex determination mechanisms—research with profound implications for understanding developmental disorders and genetic conditions affecting children. At the Imperial Cancer Research Fund Laboratories (now Cancer Research UK), she explored Notch signaling pathways in vertebrate gut epithelium, contributing to our understanding of gastrointestinal development and disease processes that impact pediatric health.
As editor-in-chief of Nature, Skipper oversees the publication of groundbreaking discoveries that define the cutting edge of biomedical research. Her leadership extends beyond traditional editorial duties—she is an advocate for research integrity, open science practices, and creating equitable pathways for the next generation of researchers. She co-launched the Nature Research Inspiring Science Award in 2018, designed to elevate women early-career researchers and their innovative contributions to scientific advancement.
In this presentation, Skipper will share her visionary perspective on how emerging research trends and innovations will transform pediatric medicine and child health outcomes. Drawing from her unique vantage point from both scientific discovery and publishing, she will explore the evolving landscape of research that promises to improve the health trajectories of children and the adults they will become.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with a leader who is actively shaping the future of scientific research and its translation into better health outcomes for the next generation.
Register online to attend virtually at noon EDT, Sept. 30, 2025.
