Jinyu Xue, PhD

Dr. Jinyu Xue is a distinguished medical physicist at the NYU School of Medicine, dedicated to advancing cancer care through innovative research and clinical applications in radiation oncology.

My journey into medical physics was driven by a profound desire to make a tangible impact on cancer treatment. Combining a passion for physics with a commitment to improving patient outcomes, I found medical physics to be the perfect intersection of scientific innovation and compassionate care. This field allows for the application of cutting-edge technology and physical principles to develop more effective and precise radiation therapy techniques, directly contributing to better cancer treatments and improved quality of life for patients.

My research focuses on several clinical areas within medical physics and radiation oncology,

• Advanced Radiation Therapy Techniques: Applying novel approaches to radiation delivery, including stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
• Outcomes Analysis for Tumor Control / Normal Tissue Toxicity: Investigating the effects of radiation on healthy tissues and developing strategies to minimize tissue complications while maximizing tumor control.
• Dose Calculation and Quality Assurance: Improving the accuracy of dose calculations and developing robust quality assurance protocols for radiation therapy.
• Adaptive Radiation Therapy: Researching methods to adapt treatment plans in real-time based on changes in tumor and patient anatomy.
• Radiomics and Predictive Modeling: Utilizing imaging data and advanced analytics to predict treatment outcomes and optimize therapy plans.
• Clinical Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Cancer Care: Using machine learning algorithms to optimize the treatment options.

Dr. Xue's ongoing research and clinical work continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in radiation oncology, always with the goal of improving cancer care and patient outcomes.

Dr. Xue has contributed significantly to the field through numerous publications in prestigious journals, including the HyTEC special issue in International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics and the special issue in Seminars in radiation oncology.
