Kai Jiang, Ph.D. Titles and Appointments Assistant Professor School Medical School Department Radiation Oncology Biography Kai Jiang, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, is a medical physicist in the Department of Radiation Oncology. He earned his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Case Western Reserve University and completed a research fellowship at the Mayo Clinic. He went on to complete his medical physics residency at the University of Maryland Baltimore, where he later served as a faculty physicist. Dr. Jiang serves as lead physicist at VROC. His mission is to ensure safe and accurate delivery of state-of-the-art radiotherapy to our animal patients. Dr. Jiang has over a decade of experience working with animals, including laboratory rodents, rabbits, and swine. He is also engaged in preclinical research studies aimed at developing advanced imaging technologies for disease diagnoses, and innovating radiotherapy technologies for more effective cancer treatment. His research has led to publication of over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters.
