Biography

Greg Palmer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Duke University Medical Center. He obtained his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Marquette University in 2000 and later earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 2005. His primary research focuses on identifying and exploiting changes in the absorption, scattering, and fluorescence properties of tissue associated with cancer progression and therapeutic response. Dr. Palmer has developed quantitative imaging methodologies such as intravital microscopy to characterize tumor functional molecular responses to radiation and chemotherapy. His work employs a model-based approach for extracting absorber and scatterer properties from diffuse reflectance and fluorescence measurements. He has received accolades including the Jack Fowler Award from the Radiation Research Society.
