Author Information

Timothy Schultheiss is a radiation physicist who has pursued a long career in the late effects of radiation on normal tissues.  His interest in dose-response modelling arose from his research for his doctoral thesis on biological optimization of radiation dose distributions.  Continuing a lifelong interest in dose and volume responses in normal tissues, his research in radiation myelopathy is particularly well known, covering both clinical and experimental arenas.  Approximately 1800 of the more than 10000 citations of his published work reference his research on radiation myelopathy.  Educated at Wake Forest and Brown Universities, Dr. Schultheiss has held faculty positions at University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Centre, Fox Chase Cancer Centre, and City of Hope.
