I’m blown away by how nice (and professional ofc) the #MedPhys ABR part III examiners were. It’s a stressful time, but the examiners helped make it as stress-free as possible.

Officially a #DABR 😎☢️

Great publication on the benefits of modulating dose vs treatment skips (in de-escalating dose for PARPi therapy for ovarian cancer). Good science and well-written! Take a peek if you’re curious about Adaptive Therapy. #MathOnco cell.com/cell-systems/f…

We would like to congratulate one of our phenomenal physics faculty, Dr Kun Qing, on being an awarded a 5-year R01 for his project “Quantitative MRI to Automatically Delineate Intraprostatic Tumor for Radiation Therapy”. We and our patients are lucky to work with you every day.
