Overview
Dr. Roussos Torres received a BS in Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics and a
BA in World Arts and Cultures with a concentration in Dance from the University of California
at Los Angeles (UCLA). She then went on to receive her combined MD/PhD from the Medical
Scientist Training Program at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. She then
completed her internal medicine residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and
her hematology/ oncology fellowship training at the University of Pennsylvania and Johns
Hopkins University. Dr. Roussos Torres graduated from fellowship and began her faculty career
as an Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University and is now an Assistant Professor at the
University of Southern California where she leads her own lab and works collaboratively with
other physicians and physician scientists to continue her work in immune-oncology with a
specific interest in breast cancer and the tumor immune suppressive microenvironment.
Dr. Roussos Torres is very passionate about her research as well as her care of patients with
cancer and training of the fellows to become compassionate and knowledgeable physicians. She
is driven to make memorable contributions to the field of cancer research given her personal
experience advocating for her mother who died from metastatic breast cancer in 2016. Dr.
Roussos Torres felt passionate about having an impact on the field of breast cancer prior to her
mother’s diagnosis but learning about the devastation of metastatic disease as the family member
of a patient provided a different perspective and drive for novel treatment options.
Dr. Roussos Torres loves her work but also prioritizes her family life; her husband Dr. Stephen
Torres is an orthopedic surgeon, specializing in sports medicine and together they have three
sons, Owen, James and Luke who fill their life with joy and make every day a wonder! The
Torres family also has a Chesapeake Bay retriever, Emma who greatly contributes to her active
lifestyle! Dr. Roussos Torres enjoys traveling, eating out at new restaurants and road biking! Dr.
Roussos Torres grew up in Santa Monica and is so happy to work close to where she grew up to
raise her family near her siblings, their families, and her father who still resides here.

Altmetrics Details
PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media.
(Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.)
Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication.
Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.)
