Meet Our 2026 Teal Run Keynote Speaker

We’re honored to announce that this year’s keynote speaker for The Teal Run is Dr. Amer Karam, a leading gynecologic oncologist at Stanford Medicine.  

Dr. Karam has dedicated his career to advancing care for women facing ovarian and gynecologic cancers, with expertise spanning ovarian cancer treatment, hereditary cancer risk, robotic surgery, and palliative care. His work is rooted not only in innovation and research, but also in deeply compassionate, patient-centered care.  

As we gather this year under our theme, “Powered by Community,” Dr. Karam’s voice reflects the heart of what

The Teal Run is all about: bringing together survivors, families, advocates, researchers, and care teams to move ovarian cancer awareness and research forward together.

We’re incredibly grateful to welcome Dr. Karam to The Teal Run community and look forward to hearing his perspective on the future of ovarian cancer care, research, and hope.
