Biography

Howard J. Halpern specializes in medical imaging techniques, particularly low frequency imaging electron paramagnetic resonance (VLF-I-EPR). This technique is instrumental in measuring changes in oxygen content in tumor tissues, which is a critical determinant of response to radiation therapy. Halpern has co-authored a textbook on free radical biology and serves as the principal investigator for the Oversight Committee Laboratory Training for Radiation Oncology Residents. He completed his PhD in High Energy Physics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in June 1976, and earned his MD from the University of Miami in June 1980. His research has been supported by multiple grants focusing on improving radiation therapy for hypoxic tumor regions and enhancing molecular signaling imaging. Halpern has contributed to several significant studies in electron paramagnetic resonance imaging and its application in vivo physiology.
