Biography

Marianne Koritzinsky is a Professor and Director of Research in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Toronto. She is also the Director of the Clinical Experimental Radiobiology Course and a Full Member of the Institute of Medical Science. With an MSc in Radiation Biophysics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and a PhD in Biophysics from the University of Oslo, her research focuses on tumor hypoxia, exploring how poor oxygenation in tumors limits the efficacy of radio-chemotherapy and contributes to malignant behaviors. She aims to identify novel treatment strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of tumor hypoxia by understanding its regulation of gene expression and influence on cancer metabolism. Additionally, she is a Senior Scientist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, within the University Health Network, where her work emphasizes the importance of understanding the tumor microenvironment in developing pharmaceutical agents for cancer therapy.
