  • Biography

    Jill B. De Vis, M.D., Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at UT Southwestern Medical Center with a secondary appointment at the Advanced Imaging Research Center. Her focus is on research and treatment of central nervous system diseases.

    Dr. De Vis earned her medical degree from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium and her Ph.D. in neuroimaging from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. She pursued postdoctoral research training at Johns Hopkins University and worked as a medical scientist at the National Institutes of Health. Prior to joining UT Southwestern, she completed her radiation oncology residency training at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

    Her research focuses on the implementation of advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to assess normal tissue and tumor microenvironment. Evaluating treatment-related changes in the microenvironment allows for prediction of treatment response and can guide personalized or adaptive radiation to maximize tumor control while minimizing radiation-related side effects. 

    Dr. De Vis is the recipient of an R21 grant, which funded her research while she was on the American Board of Radiology (ABR) B. Leonard Holman Research Pathway. She is an active reviewer of numerous professional journals and has authored several manuscripts which have appeared in intermediate-to-high impact journals, including the American College of Cardiology, NeuroImage, and the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
