Kristina Hoot, PhD, an MD/PhD student currently in her third year of the MD program, recently received two accolades. The Research & Education Foundation of the Radiological Society of North America awarded Dr. Hoot a research grant to study the efficacy of targeted molecular therapies combined with irradiation on skin squamous cell carcinomas. The $3,000 stipend is matched by the Department of Radiation Medicine. Dr. Hoot has also been named the Rubinstein Radiation Research Scholar in the Department of Radiation Medicine for 2009 - 2010. The scholar program provides support for the research career development of the next generation of academic radiation oncology investigators. This year’s award was made possible by the generous philanthropic support of Dick and Deanne Rubinstein.
"The Rubinstein Scholar program is a great opportunity for an outstanding OHSU medical student who has an interest in radiation medicine to pursue innovative research and mentor with an OHSU faculty member,” said Charles Thomas, MD, Chair, Department of Radiation Medicine. “It is my hope that students selected will continue to evolve into physician-scientists who become dominant intellectual presences on the academic radiation medicine and translational cancer biology scene for years to come.”
