معرفی
Dr. George Sgouros is a Professor of Radiology and Radiological Science, Radiation Oncology, and Oncology at Johns Hopkins University, serving as Director of the Radiological Physics Division. He holds leadership roles in the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (MIRD Committee Chairman) and the NIH Radiation Therapeutics and Biology Study Section. His work bridges academic research, clinical translation, and international policy in radiological sciences.
Dr. Sgouros earned his B.S. in Applied Physics from Columbia University (1984), Ph.D. in Physics from Cornell University (1991), and completed a medical physics fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. His career includes prior roles as Associate Professor at Cornell University and Associate Attending Physicist at Sloan-Kettering before joining Johns Hopkins in 2003.
Research focuses on mathematical modeling of radionuclide therapies, particularly alpha-particle emitters and patient-specific dosimetry. His lab develops translational strategies for targeted radiotherapy, including preclinical studies of alpha-emitter therapies for metastatic cancers. Key innovations include SPECT-based dosimetry optimization and radiobiological modeling for combination therapies.
His 140+ peer-reviewed publications reflect expertise in radiation dosimetry, pharmacokinetic modeling, and alpha-particle therapy applications. Awards include the Saul Hertz Award (2017) and CaP CURE Award (2001). He chairs international committees on radiopharmaceutical therapy standards (ICRU Report 31) and advises the IAEA on medical physics infrastructure.
Professional activities include NIH grant review leadership (RTB Study Section Chair, 2015–2017) and membership in the National Council on Radiation Protection. Current initiatives emphasize advancing alpha-particle emitter therapies and improving dosimetry frameworks for precision radiological oncology.
