Career


After completing her fellowship at the NCI and running clinical trials for two years under Dr. Marc Lippman and alongside Dr. Robert Dickson, Swain founded the breast cancer program at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) in 1988. This program is now known as the Betty Lou Ourisman Breast Health Center. She returned to the NCI in 1995 and, by 1999, became a Tenured Principal Investigator and the Deputy Chief of the Medicine Branch within the Division of Clinical Sciences, ultimately becoming Chief of the Cancer Therapeutics Branch at the Center for Cancer Research.
In 2007, after a 12-year stint at the NCI, Swain accepted the position of Medical Director at the Washington Cancer Institute (WCI) at the MedStar Washington Hospital Center (MWHC)., At this time, Swain had a growing interest in healthcare inequality and a desire to dedicate her efforts to the underserved African American community in Washington, D.C. During her time as medical director at the WCI, she studied the causes of increased breast cancer mortality observed in African American women. In 2016, after almost a decade at the WCI, Swain was appointed as the Associate Dean for Research Development to pursue research collaborations, business development, and funding opportunities between Georgetown University and industry, medical/scientific associations, governmental agencies, and other entities at all levels.
Over the past 35 years, Swain has held advisory and leadership positions with professional oncology societies and organizations. These include Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Conquer Cancer Foundation, the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP), and the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers.
