Brett Lewis, M.D., Ph.D., is an authority on the use of radiation therapy to treat cancer, including highly targeted external radiation techniques as well as internal approaches (radiopharmaceuticals). He is also involved in research to evaluate new radiation therapy regimens and methods, with the goal of improving treatment effectiveness while reducing side effects.
He brings with him an undergraduate major in physics (University of Florida with High Honors) and graduate school expertise in physical biochemistry (Albert Einstein College of Medicine). He is the first author on most of his publications, with articles in a number of different journals, including Medical Physics, Journal of Clinical Oncology, and Journal of the American Chemical Society. Dr. Lewis wrote a book chapter on isotope effects in biochemistry and worked behind the scenes on radiation exposure research with NASA. He has taught learners at many levels.
With a short interlude as Clinical Assistant …Professor in Radiation Oncology at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, he has lived in the New York metropolitan area since 1994.
