• What is David Carlson Fastro Faapm's job title?

  David Carlson Fastro Faapm is a The overall goal of my research is to develop more accurate radiobiological dose-response models that will advance biologically-guided radiation therapy (BGRT) for cancer patients. I hope to make scientific contributions to improve our basic understanding of the underlying physical and biological mechanisms that govern radiation response. In my recent research, I have investigated the effects of the spatial pattern of energy deposition on the relative biological effectiveness of x-rays, protons, and carbon ions for various biological endpoints. I have examined the combined effects of cellular oxygen concentration and spatial energy deposition on DNA damage induction and processing and cell death. I have a broad background in radiation physics and radiation biology. As a doctoral candidate at Purdue University, I conducted research on the mechanisms of intrinsic radiation sensitivity and examined the effects of DNA repair, oxygen, and radiation quality on biological endpoints such as DSB formation and cell death. As a physics resident at Stanford University, I obtained a comprehensive understanding of the clinical application of radiation for the treatment of malignant and benign disease. I continued my research in radiobiological modeling to develop more realistic models of tumor hypoxia based on oxygen diffusion from tumor vasculature and the impact on radiation response. I am currently focused on (1) developing non-invasive functional imaging tools to quantify the spatial and temporal distributions of tumor hypoxia and (2) implementing methods of biological optimization in particle radiotherapy.
