University of Louisville
Louisville, KY
I am a board certified radiation oncologist. My clinical focus is primarily on multidisciplinary approaches to the treatment of Head and Neck cancers and lung cancer. I am the acting Associate Clinical Director of the Multidisciplinary HN Cancer Program at the University of Louisville. I am currently the institutional principal investigator for multiple national cooperative group studies through NRG/RTOG in the treatment head & neck cancers and lung cancer. I sit on the NRG Oncology Head and Neck Cancer Core Committee and the Previously Untreated, Locally Advanced (PULA) Head & Neck NCI steering subcommittee. My research interests include the application of new treatment technologies in treatment of lung, liver and head & neck malignancies in order to improve outcomes and reduce side effects. I currently have investigator-initiated trials open for the re-treatment of lung cancers after previous radiation, evaluation of early radiation-induced lung injury with 4-dimensional CT. I am part of a multi-institutional collaborative for the re-treatment of HN malignancies (MIRI) and the treatment of oral cavity cancers. My work in lung imaging has lead to the acquisition of grant funding through the NIH EXCITE program to investigate nanoparticles for cancer imaging and radiosensitization.
