Background

Dr. Andrea Richardson received her M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from University of Texas Southwestern Medical and Graduate Schools in Dallas, TX in 1992. She completed her residency training in Anatomic Pathology with subspecialty training in breast pathology and cytopathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA.

From 1997 to 1993, she was on anatomic pathology staff in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates in Boston. 

In 2000, she returned to the Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Department of Cancer Biology, Dana Farber Cancer Institute.  There, she maintained an active clinical practice on the BWH breast pathology consultation service and a translational research laboratory and rose to the rank of Associate Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School.

Her research interests have focused on molecular pathology of breast cancer and development of predictive biomarkers of treatment response.

In 2015, she joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine as Director of Pathology, Community Practice Division and Director of Breast Pathology, Community Practice Division. 

Her clinical practice is based at Sibley Memorial Hospital, Washington DC.  She will also continue her translational breast cancer research with collaborators at Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center.
