Current Research and Scholarly Interests

My lab's research is focused on the development of imaging and molecular biomarkers to improve early detection, diagnosis, prognostication, and prediction of therapy response in cancer. Our ultimate goal is to translate these biomarkers into clinical practice to guide optimal management and therapeutic decisions for precision cancer medicine.

Research Interests
I specialize in the treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies. I am interested in developing stereotactic body radiotherapy for tumors of the liver, both primary and metastatic. I am interested in developing functional imaging as a means of determining treatment response with radiation. I am also interested in developing image-guided radiotherapy to improve radiation delivery for GI cancers to reduce toxicity and improve disease outcome.

Maximilian Diehn, MD, PhD

Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology (Radiation Therapy)
Clinical Focus
Cancer > Radiation Oncology, Cancer > Thoracic Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Radiation Therapy
Research Interests
My laboratory focuses on two main areas: 1) cancer stem cell biology and 2) novel biomarkers for identifying the presence of malignant cells (diagnostic), predicting outcome (prognostic), and predicting response to therapy (predictive). Areas of study include cancers of the lung, breast, and gastrointestinal system. Clinically I specialize in the treatment of lung cancer and applications of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy and perform both prospective and retrospective clinical studies.
