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.

Zachary Morris, MD, PhD
The Morris Lab is focused on using preclinical and translational research approaches to study the mechanisms whereby radiation may impact the anti-tumor response to immunotherapies. Their primary objective is to determine whether and how radiation may optimally be employed to simultaneously modulate the tumor immune microenvironment and to increase the susceptibility of tumor cells to immune response. They seek to test these approaches in early phase clinical studies where they may be further refined with the ultimate aim of improving survival and achieving cures in patients with metastatic cancers.
