Kristen Dahlgren is an award winning journalist turned breast cancer advocate and founder of the nonprofit Cancer Vaccine Coalition (CVC).  

For the first 30 years of her career, Dahlgren traveled the world, documenting some of the biggest news stories of our time. She reported for NBC Nightly News and NBC's Today show, was nominated for an Emmy award for leading the network's coverage of the Parkland School shooting, served as a backup anchor for Lester Holt, and won an Edward R. Murrow award for her feature reporting.  

In 2019, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and immediately decided to share her story to help other women to recognize the different ways their own cancers could present. Through her reporting, Dahlgren also learned about the research that was happening on breast cancer vaccines. After a conversation with UW Cancer Vaccine Institute's Nora Disis, MD, Dahlgren realized that vaccines for breast cancer were no longer a "Pie in the sky" idea but something that was close and achievable. 

She couldn't stand by and watch anyone else suffer. CVC is partnered with the nation’s top vaccine and cancer researchers with a goal of getting a safe, effective breast cancer vaccine to market in five to 10 years.  

Join us for an inspiring Tuesday Talks with Kristen Dahlgren, breast cancer survivor, former Today Show host, and Founder & CEO of the Cancer Vaccine Coalition. We’ll discuss her personal journey from surviving cancer to leading advocacy by working with researchers to effectively bring a breast cancer vaccine to market in 5 to 10 years.
