Stephan D. Voss

Stephan D. Voss, MD, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School and holds dual leadership roles as the Quality and Safety Physician Director and Nuclear Medicine Medical Director within the Department of Radiology at Boston Children's Hospital. His clinical expertise spans pediatric radiology, nuclear medicine, and oncological imaging, with a focus on optimizing diagnostic protocols for childhood malignancies.

Education:

• Undergraduate: Princeton University (1984)
• Medical School: University of Wisconsin (1988)
• Internship & Residency: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (1995-2000)
• Fellowship: Pediatric Radiology, Boston Children's Hospital (2001)

Dr. Voss's research centers on developing novel imaging tools for pediatric oncology, particularly neuroblastoma-specific diagnostics. He pioneers the use of antibody-targeted contrast agents for SPECT/PET imaging and chairs the Imaging Section of the Children's Oncology Group Phase I Consortium, establishing standardized protocols for cancer staging and treatment response assessment.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on advanced imaging techniques for pediatric cancers, including PET/MRI surveillance for genetic syndromes, radiation injury quantification, and optimizing nuclear medicine protocols. Collaborative clinical trials frequently investigate targeted therapies for refractory solid tumors.

Dr. Voss leads translational research at Boston Children's Hospital, directing projects on molecular imaging probe development and coordinating multi-institutional efforts to refine imaging guidelines for pediatric lymphoma and neuroblastoma through the SEARCH and COG consortia.
