Research InterestMy research focus is on developing techniques to better predict the response of tumors to radiotherapy. Through a combination of experimental work (preclinical molecular imaging) and computational approaches (image processing and mathematical modeling), I aim to improve our ability to (a) infer biologically relevant information from imaging data, and b) reliably predict whether / how specific tumor regions are resistant to radiation therapy.

Research InterestOur research is aimed at defining the pathways of p53-mediated apoptosis and tumor suppression, using a combination of biochemical, cell biological, and mouse genetic approaches. Our strategy is to start by generating hypotheses about p53 mechanisms of action using primary mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), and then to test them using gene targeting technology in the mouse.

Research InterestMy current research is focused on evaluating and improving linac-based stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) treatment planning and delivery techniques, predicting dosimetric indices in prospective plans through automated data mining, and developing new approaches for planning and delivering prone partial breast irradiation.

Research InterestMy current research is on the clinical implementation of real-time image guided radiation therapy for prostate cancer with linear accelerators. The methodology will be extended to other types of tumors. I am also working in the development of an independent dose calculation algorithm for flattening filter free linear accelerators delivering intensity modulated radiation therapy.
