Autorenporträt
Timothy D. Malouff is an emerging leader in particle therapy. He has published and presented extensively on a variety of topics related to particle therapy, including proton therapy, carbon ion therapy, boron neutron capture therapy, and other heavy ion therapy. Dr. Malouff's research goals include critically evaluating and expanding the indications for "novel" radiation modalities, including particle therapy. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Malouff enjoys spending time with his family. Daniel M. Trifiletti as an international leader in radiation oncology and stereotactic radiosurgery at the Mayo Clinic, the research of Dr. Trifiletti includes numerous clinical studies involving radiation, surgery and drug therapies in the treatment of tumors. Dr. Trifiletti's short-term research goals focus on describing the impact of radiation on the priming of the brain tumor microenvironment. Discovering the biological underpinnings of radiation priming will allow for novel, "game-changing" cancer therapies, rapid translation to early-stage clinical trials and, ultimately, improved outcomes in patients with fatal diseases.
