Summary
- As the Director of Thoracic Radiation Oncology at Stanford, my clinical specialty is radiation therapy of lung and other thoracic cancers.
My clinical research focus is on clinical trials and clinical translation of advanced high-precision 4-D image-guided radiation therapy and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), as well as novel indications of SABR such as severe pulmonary emphysema. I also conduct preclinical and translational research in novel functional and metabolic imaging and imaging biomarkers.
I co-lead a collaboration between the Department of Radiation Oncology and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to develop a next-generation ultra-rapid and precise medical linear accelerator system (PHASER), as well as a preclinical research program to study the radiobiology of ultra-rapid FLASH radiotherapy.
