Center for Precision Radiation Medicine

The Center for Precision Radiation Medicine (CPRM) is comprised of a dynamic research group within the Department of Radiation Medicine & Applied Sciences. The Center includes both wet and dry laboratories located within the Altman Clinical Translational Research Institute and the Moores Cancer Center. Our programs span the breadth of radiation sciences including: basic science and radiobiology, translational research, radiomics and imaging, and clinical trials. Our faculty include 4 NIH R01 funded principle investigators as well as 2 national principle investigators of NRG cooperative group radiation trials. The overarching goal of CPRM is to improve patient care through the use of precision radiation therapy approaches and combinatorial therapeutics.
