I am the coordinator and main lecturer for the radiation biology class for the radiation oncology residents. I also work closely with the radiation oncology residents during their research year. I also instruct medical students from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School as well as other medical schools who spend anywhere from one month to a year doing research in the Radiation Oncology Research Laboratory. This involves writing research proposals, abstracts and manuscripts, good laboratory technique, planning experiments, collecting data, and statistical analysis.
