Career Trajectory
Bio
I am currently Chair of Radiation Oncology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee where I have practiced since 1996. Prior to my appointment at St. Jude, I was an attending physician in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, New York. I was originally trained as a nuclear engineer at the University of Michigan. After completing my engineering degree, and prior to attending medical school at the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, I worked in the area of radiation protection and safety for the French Atomic Energy Commission in Fontenay-aux-Roses, France. After medical school, I was a Fulbright Scholar to the Netherlands at the University of Utrecht where I received my Ph.D., cum laude, in experimental pathology. I interned at the Chicago Osteopathic Hospital and performed my residency at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. As a part of my formal medical and residency training, I spent time at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston and Curie Institute in Paris. In the latter part of my residency training, I was awarded a fellowship and spent time at the Joint Center for Radiation Therapy and Children’s Hospital Boston.
The subject of my research has been the application of advanced radiotherapy methods in the treatment of children with cancer. My focus has been in pediatric neuro-oncology where I have designed new treatments for children with brain tumors and modeled radiation-related CNS effects. The broad long-term goal of my research has been to increase the cure rates for the most common brain tumors and reduce or eliminate the side effects of radiation therapy. My work in the area of conformal radiation therapy for pediatric CNS tumors has provided the basis for the dose, volume and normal tissue tolerance guidelines used in most of the national cooperative group brain tumor trials for children with medulloblastoma, ependymoma, low-grade glioma and craniopharyngioma. My work has recently been highlighted in a number of oncology journals including Lancet Oncology, Journal of Clinical Oncology, and the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology and Physics.
