EDU 53 - Radiation Oncology Biology Integration Network (ROBIN): Translational Radiobiology, and Critical to the Future of the Field

04:00pm - 05:00pm PT

MODERATOR(S)

Jeffrey Buchsbaum, MD, PhD, MS, FASTRO, AM - NCI

session DESCRIPTION

ROBIN is a transorfative approach to radiobiology and at the NCI it represents perhaps the most ambitious and creative new scientific program. How it studies disease and clinical care has become a new norm and we hope to share the reasons for this with the ASTRO community because it represents a major shift for our field - it seeks to explain what happens when we treat patients with standard radiation in ways not known formally, to set a new bar from which to grow science for our field moving forward.

learning objectives

  1. Understand why ROBIN was created, what it means, and why it is important for the whole field.
  2. Have an idea about how to use the ROBIN approach in their practice, thinking, and research moving into the future and how to train people to do so.
