Martin Brown

Professor of Radiation Oncology, Emeritus
Research Interests
We seek to understand the mechanisms responsible for the resistance of cancers to treatment and to develop strategies to overcome these resistances. We are using molecular and cellular techniques and mouse models to potentiate the activity of radiation on tumors by inhibiting the bone marrow rescue of the tumor vasculature following therapy.

Jack, Lulu, and Sam Willson Professor and 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.
