Sandra Meyers Lab


Dr. Meyers’ lab focuses on the development and implementation of a fully-automated (knowledge-based) planning approach in patients undergoing brachytherapy, particularly in women with cervical cancer. Her work is complementary to that of other RMAS researchers who are focused on developing and clinically implementing automated planning in patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and conventional 3D conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT).
