RESEARCH SUMMARY
Dr. Citrin is a clinician and translational researcher in the Radiation Oncology Branch at the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Citrin’s clinical and laboratory research focus on two main themes: 1) predicting which tumors are resistant to killing by radiation, and in turn, targeting these tumors more effectively with novel drug radiation combinations, and 2) understanding the mechanisms of normal tissue injury from radiation. Dr. Citrin is particularly interested in developing strategies to enhance the capacity of radiation to kill tumor cells while protecting normal tissue from the side effects of radiation treatment. Much of her laboratory work has focused on aging in tissue exposed to radiation through stem cell senescence.
Dr. Citrin leads the Prostate Radiotherapy program at the National Cancer Institute. She is involved in the clinical care of patients with genitourinary cancers (prostate and bladder), gastrointestinal cancers, and thoracic malignancies. Dr. Citrin is board certified by the American Board of Radiology.
