Lauren Smith, PhD

I am an Assistant Attending Physicist in the Radiotherapy Service of the Department of Medical Physics. I received my PhD from the University of Western Ontario in 2021 with a focus on implementing advanced MRI techniques to detect physiological biomarkers. I went on to complete my medical physics residency at the University of California, Los Angeles in 2023 before joining the team at MSK. In the clinic, I provide physics support in external beam therapy with a focus on motion management and treatment planning. My research interests include MRI-guided radiation therapy, adaptive therapy, and using quantitative MRI to better understand disease progression.
