| Meet the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Robert Jeraj Professor of Medical Physics |
 |
Research area Research topics include tumor heterogeneity and treatment resistance, quantitative imaging biomarkers, image guidance for precision medicine, and modeling in oncology and neurology.
What excites you about your work?
“For me, research is exploration, the journey into the unknown, discovering something that nobody has ever found. Specifically in our research, we are intrigued by the complexity of disease response, particularly heterogeneity of the response, even within individual patients. Uncovering this mystery is so fascinating.”
What do you hope to achieve?
“The ultimate goal of medical physics is always improving lives of patients. Specific to our research, we hope to be able to better predict how a particular treatment will work, how we can optimize a given treatment and ultimately derive the most appropriate treatment strategy, given patient and physician preferences.”
Robert’s work provides unique information about tumor behavior, furthering our understanding of how to personalize and treat diseases like cancer. We’re excited to support his imaging and modeling expertise to create tools that improve outcomes for patients everywhere.
