Paul Okunieff, MD, is board-certified in therapeutic radiology and is among the pioneers of in-vivo nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of tumors. Dr. Okunieff’s research includes the development of a novel method to measure radiation-induced DNA fragments in the bloodstream to estimate radiation exposure and the identification of molecules that provide genetically-based protection against radiation hazards. He has active protocols to study the treatment of metastatic cancers with radiosurgery and is developing protocols for the use of proton therapy in metastatic cancers.
