Dr. Ziad Saleh

Biography

Ziad Saleh is an Assistant Professor in Radiation Oncology at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University. His research focuses on advanced modeling of normal tissue complications post-radiotherapy, emphasizing the efficacy of radiotherapy while minimizing normal tissue toxicity. He has collaborated with colleagues to identify correlations between radiation dose and late toxicity in normal structures, particularly studying late rectal bleeding in prostate cancer and complications like xerostomia and trismus in head and neck cancer patients. His work has played a significant role in establishing dose limits for critical structures, aiming to reduce complication rates and enhance the quality of life for patients. Saleh has developed quantitative metrics to evaluate the performance of deformable image registration (DIR), aiming to improve adaptive radiotherapy techniques. His contributions to the field are notable, with numerous publications, including articles on Normal Tissue Complication Probability modeling and innovative approaches to quantifying radiation-induced injuries through advanced imaging techniques. Saleh has received multiple awards for his scholarly work, including the Graduate Student Achievement Award from the University of Florida and the Young Investigators Award from the Radiological Medical Physics Society.
