Dr. Joshua P. Schiff is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Radiation Oncology at the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California (USC), with primary clinical practice at the Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. He specializes in advanced radiotherapy techniques for diverse cancer types, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and motion management strategies. His research focuses on improving treatment outcomes through adaptive radiotherapy and biology-guided approaches.
Education & Training:
- Bachelor’s in Biopsychology (University of California, Santa Barbara)
- M.D. (Tulane University School of Medicine, inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society)
- Radiation Oncology Residency (Washington University School of Medicine, Chief Resident)
- Internal Medicine Internship (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center)
His research emphasizes innovative radiotherapy technologies such as MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy (SMART) and CT-guided stereotactic adaptive radiotherapy (CT-STAR). He leads clinical trials exploring motion management and biology-guided strategies to enhance precision while minimizing toxicity. Key contributions include pioneering studies on pancreatic, liver, and thoracic cancers treated with advanced techniques.
Awards:
- Roentgen Resident/Fellow Research Award (Radiological Society of North America, 2024)
- Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society (2019)
Dr. Schiff’s work spans publications in high-impact journals like International Journal of Radiation Oncology and Radiotherapy and Oncology. He actively collaborates on grants focused on adaptive radiotherapy implementation and has contributed to professional organizations such as ASTRO and the American Medical Association.
