I have a special research interest in radiation therapies targeting breast cancer and have been awarded numerous research grants and conduct clinical and translational investigation allowing our team to translate these findings to apply directly to patient therapies. Currently, our team of radiation oncologists, working closely with our surgeons and medical oncologists, are exploring more rapid ways of delivering radiation and investigating novel drugs which may enhance the effects of radiation in breast cancer and other cancers.

I have served in many leadership roles related to research and education in radiation oncology and served as president of the American Board of Radiology, the major certifying organization for the practice of diagnostic radiology, radiation oncology, and medical physics. I also served as president and Chairman of the Board of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), which is the world’s largest radiation oncology society, and have served as a past president of the American Radium Society, past chairman of the Residency Review Committee in Radiation Oncology, and currently serve on the RSNA Board of Directors, serving as Chairman of the Board from November 2019-November 2020.
