Radiation Oncologist
Rad onc physician
Quaovi Sodji, MD, PhD
After his undergraduate in biochemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Dr. Sodji enrolled in the University System of Georgia MD/PhD program where he completed his Ph.D in medicinal chemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology and M.D at the Medical College of Georgia. He subsequently completed his residency in Radiation Oncology at Stanford University where he pursued the ABR Holman Research Pathway in the laboratory of Dr. Amato Giaccia, studying the impact of the complement system on the recruitment and cytotoxic activity of natural killer cells in the tumor microenvironment.
Shuang (George) Zhao, MD
The Zhao Lab focuses on developing novel clinical biomarkers that predict response and resistance to specific therapies across cancers. These biomarkers can be used to better select which patients derive a benefit from treatment, which patients do not and can be spared potential toxicity, as well as monitor for emergence of resistance. It seeks to use advanced computational approaches and liquid biopsy technologies to better personalize the care of cancer patients.
Newton Hurst, MD, PhD
John Floberg, MD, PhD
Clinically, Dr. Floberg focuses on the treatment of genitourinary cancers. As a radiation oncologist, he collaborates with urologists, medical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and other specialists to provide patients with the best care possible.
Pippa Cosper, MD, PhD
Dr. Cosper’s main interest is in Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) induced cancers, such as cervical and head and neck cancer. Specifically, she is interested in how the virus induces different types of chromosomal instability (CIN) and how this affects radiation sensitivity, which may offer some insight into radiation sensitivity or resistance within HPV+ cancers.
Grace Blitzer, MD
Dr. Blitzer is an assistant professor in the Department of Human Oncology at the University of Wisconsin. She serves as the primary radiation oncologist at the UW Cancer Center in Johnson Creek, where she treats all types of cancer in adults. The UW Cancer Center Johnson Creek has a state-of-the-art linear accelerator that is the same as the machines at UW Carbone Cancer Center, which allows me to treat cancer using the same advanced techniques available to UWCCC.
Steven Howard, MD, PhD
Dr. Steven Howard has expertise in the treatment of patients with brain tumors. His research focuses on the clinical application of new radiation techniques and radiation-drug combinations to improve outcomes for brain tumor patients. Dr. Howard has received numerous awards and honors for his work in Radiation Oncology.
Jessica Schuster, MD
Dr. Jessica Schuster ism a clinical associate professor in the Department of Human Oncology and serves as the primary radiation oncologist at UW Cancer Center Johnson Creek, where she treats all adult cancer sites. She has a particular interest in using radiation to treat breast, prostate and lung cancers and benign diseases such as Dupuytren’s contracture. She also focuses on palliative care and symptom management.
Kristin Bradley, MD
Dr. Bradley participates in clinical research, evaluating ways to improve cancer care in patients with gynecologic, hematologic or pediatric cancers who are receiving radiation as a component of their treatment. In addition to her clinical practice, she is the Radiation Oncology Residency Program director. She is also involved with teaching medical students and undergraduates.
