For the fourth year in a row, Radiation Oncology was awarded the Outstanding Patient Experience Team Award by the Office of the Patient Experience. This places us in the top 10% of providers nationwide. Kudos to consistent care! 🎉

Suryamin (Michael) Liman successfully defended his thesis (Carbon Monoxide Activates Heme Metabolism to Improve Cartilage Health After Intraarticular Injury or Surgical Exposure), and becomes our newest minted FRRBP PhD. Congrats to Mike!

High-dose, IV vitamin C doubles survival for patients in chemotherapy for late-stage pancreatic cancer, according to a clinical trial. "The results were so strong that we were able to stop the trial early,” says senior author Joe Cullen, MD, of Radiation Oncology spr.ly/6017s8gEL

How does drug resistance to targeted therapy occur, and how do you find new strategies to make the therapy work? Congratulations to Andrean Simons-Burnett, PhD and her lab for winning an R01 grant (Inflammation and EGFR crosstalk in HNSCC Therapy) to probe these questions!

Congratulations Andrean Simons-Burnett, PhD, recipient of a $1.7M R01 grant from @NIDCR. The award will support her project which seeks to understand how drug resistance to targeted therapy occurs and develop new strategies to allow these therapies to work.

Lyndsay Harshman's (11MD, 14F, 18MS) path to #PediatricNephrology wasn’t a straight one, but it led her to a career of meaningful research and pediatric clinical care. “When opportunities come up, you have to be willing to just take the dive,” she says. spr.ly/6012Q6Gwp
