Francisco (UCSF), in the pharmacology department and then moved with his thesis advisor to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha where he received his Ph.D. in 1981. In the fall of 1981 he returned to UCSF accepting a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Dennis Deen in the Brain Tumor Research Center where he was introduced to radiobiology, which has continued to be his primary area of research. In 1984, he joined the faculty of the Department of Experimental Radiation Oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston as an assistant professor. His research at M.D. Anderson focused on drug-radiation interactions. He was eventually promoted to professor in 1996 with a joint appointment as professor in the Department of Neurosurgery. In June of 2001, he joined the National Cancer Institute as Chief of the newly created Molecular Radiation Therapeutics Branch. He relocated to the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in 2006 as Professor/Member in the Drug Discovery Department. His current research is focused on the identification of the molecular determinants of radiosensitivity and the development of molecularly targeted radiosensitizers. Kevin Camphausen received his undergraduate degree from Purdue University in 1988. He then completed his MD (1996) and medical internship (1997) at Georgetown University Medical Center. He next completed his residency in radiation oncology at the Joint Center of Radiation Therapy at Harvard Medical School (2001). While there, he worked in the laboratory of Dr. Judah Folkman studying the interactions of antiangiogenic therapy and radiotherapy. He joined the Radiation Oncology Branch in 2001 as a tenure track investigator. He has recently received tenure at the NIH (2007) and was promoted to be the Chief of the Radiation Oncology Branch (ROB), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), NCI (2007). He is a physician/scientist who has a laboratory program focusing on the development and characterization of agents that alter the tumoral response to radiation. He has been successful in translating his work from the laboratory to the clinic. Dr. Camphausen is an internationally recognized leader in his field and an expert in the field of drug-induced tumor radiosensitization including the use of antiangiogenic agents in combination with radiotherapy.
