As a cancer biologist and radiation oncologist, we study new approaches for combining X-ray radiation treatment and other treatments, such as chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, and immunotherapy. We are investigating the interactions and mechanisms for improved therapeutic effects of combination treatments involving X-ray radiation therapy. Our research work, models, and projects are geared toward translation to the clinical setting. We leverage combination approaches to provide enhanced cancer treatment and understand the biological pathways involved.
