GOLF FOR ALL Welcomes Dr. Christopher Robinson to the Board of Directors

Dr. Christopher Robinson, MD, PhDGolf For All is excited to announce the addition of our latest board member, Dr. Christopher Robinson, MD, PhD.

“Dr. Chris” attended Georgetown University, where he completed a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry. He completed his MD-PhD at the Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program at Weill Cornell Medical College, Rockefeller University, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center where he discovered in collaboration with Dr. Charles Rice, the 2020 Nobel Prize in Medicine, and Dr. Shuibing Chen a new anti-viral medication for Zika virus during the Zika virus epidemic. He is now completing his training as a chronic pain physician-scientist at Harvard with research focused primarily on developing new chronic pain therapeutics.

Though Dr. Chris is no golf expert, he loves how being on the green can be healing and calming for all. As a physician-scientist, Dr. Chris hopes to provide better pain relief to all, especially for our Veterans who made his dream of becoming a physician-scientist true because they fought for his freedom. He wants not even physical pain to limit anyone from getting on or back onto the green so they all can enjoy the beauty of Golf and the outdoors. He is honored to be a member of Golf For All.

“Chris is a tremendously valuable addition to our board,” said “Fred Corcoran, Executive Director for Golf For All. “We are incredibly grateful for his contributions and we look forward to our continued growth as an organization with the help of his guidance, insights and support.”
