c2The Radiobiology and Imaging Program seeks to advance the understanding of the interaction of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation with cancer and normal tissues. Scientific Aims are to:
6-
53
- Develop and characterize agents to improve cancer therapy with radiation 8d
- Investigate radiobiological or imaging methods of altering or interrogating the immune environment to improve therapeutic response a5
- Gain a deeper understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and metabolism with the aim to leverage this understanding to improve therapeutic response 3f
- Develop novel imaging to optimally guide cancer care 9e
- Understand the biological effects of protons to optimize their clinical use and determine which patients will benefit most from proton beam therapy 7
The Program is led by Theresa Busch, PhD, Research Professor of Radiation Oncology, and Terence Gade MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology. Drs. Busch and Gade are NCI-funded researchers who bring their scientific vision to this Program, which is focused on basic and translational research and the development of investigator-initiated trials. Drs. Busch and Gade expanded the Program’s focus on imaging modalities and theranostics and further enhanced the integration and interplay between radiobiology and imaging. A major development has been the substantial expansion of both translational and clinical studies of proton therapy.
