Biography

Dorthe Schaue is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. Her research focuses on tumor-specific immune responses and the effects of radiation therapy on the immune system. She explores how radiation influences immune balance, particularly the notion that while radiation is traditionally viewed as immunosuppressive, it can also drive anti-tumor immune reactivity in a dose-dependent manner through specific danger signaling pathways. Dr. Schaue aims to optimize radiation responses in combination with immunotherapeutic strategies to improve treatment outcomes for cancer patients. Throughout her career, she has published significant findings in various high-impact journals, addressing the interactions between radiation and immune responses and investigating methods to enhance tumor immunity.
