Anthony Mascia is Associate Professor in Departments of Radiation Oncology and Pediatrics, as well as the Director of Medical Physics for the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and University of Cincinnati Proton Therapy Center.
In 2013, Anthony completed his PhD in Biophysics at the University of California, Los Angeles
(UCLA), and in 2011, was certified by the American Board of Radiology in Medical Physics. Most recently, in 2015, Anthony was recruited from the Scripps Proton Therapy Center in San Diego to provide physics, technical, clinical and research leadership for Proton Therapy Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. In Cincinnati, as the Director of Medical Physics, Anthony supervises the physics, dosimetry and therapy staffs, as well as co-leading the research facility and gantry. His areas of research are radiation detector design and implementation, relative and absolute proton dosimetry, and experimental design and implementation for biological studies. Most recently, in the area of FLASH research and translation, Anthony is Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator on several projects, ranging from the absolute dosimetry of FLASH radiation to studying the FLASH effect in animal models. Under his co-direction, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and University of Cincinnati completed FAST-01, the first in-human clinical trial in proton FLASH radiotherapy. FAST-02, a subsequent proton in-human FLASH clinical trial, is open, with additional clinical trials under development.
