Research

Dr. Citrin's laboratory research interests include normal tissue radiobiology and improving radiotherapy for cancer by determining mechanisms of radiation resitance and developing novel molecular therapeutics combined with radiation. She is particularly interested in developing informative models that take into account the complex tumor environment and the effects of radiotherapy.

Clinically, Dr. Citrin is involved in the care of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies, prostate cancer, and melanoma. Her clinical trials focus on the development of novel radiation modifiers and understanding normal tissue response to radiation.
