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.

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.
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.
Bethany Anderson, MD
Dr. Anderson’s research investigates ways to improve cancer control and reduce side effects of treatment for breast and gynecologic cancer. This includes using advanced imaging and radiation delivery techniques to more precisely identify and treat cancerous areas. I also study shorter treatment courses.
Gregory Cooley, MD
Dr. Cooley is a clinical associate professor in the Department of Human Oncology (DHO). The DHO is one of the few centers in the region offering both low-dose-rate and high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy. Two decades ago, prostate brachytherapy showed superior PSA control rates. With further advances in dosing, fractionation and MRI-based planning, results are even better.
