Radiation Biology

The Radiation Biology Program is focused on increasing the effectiveness of radiotherapy for both local tumor control and the survival outcomes of cancer patients. Program members investigate new ways to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy by targeting the tumor microenvironment, protecting normal tissue from radiation toxicity, and developing new technology to deliver radiation in a focused manner at high speed. To achieve these goals, basic discovery science, high throughput screening and preclinical models are used to obtain critical supporting data to take these approaches into clinical trials.
