Dr Lawrence is a clinician scientist dedicate to furthering understanding in radiation biology and improving outcomes in cancer patients.

More recently his lab has focused on understanding the crosstalk between the radiation response and metabolic pathways. A particular strength of Dr Lawrence is the translation of laboratory findings into the clinic. His clinical interests include CNS and gastrointestinal tumors. Dr Lawrence has received funding from the Israel Cancer Association, European Union FP7 program, NATO, the Israel Science Foundation (ISF), and the Rosetree’s foundation. Dr Lawrence is overall PI of an international clinical trial testing celiac plexus radiosurgery, funded by ‘Gateway for Cancer Research’, which led to the treatment being included into NCCN cancer care guidelines.
