Jasmine Graham: Monday Mar. 1, 2021 (8th week), 3:30 PM CST
Dr. Jasmine (Oliver) Graham is a medical physicist at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa Florida where her research interests are to investigate extractable quantitative medical imaging features as imaging biomarkers (e.g., Radiomics) to adapt radiation therapy and predict outcomes, and to advance imaginge-guided adaptive radiation therapy using novel technologies such as the MRI-Linac and Proton Delivery Systems. She received a BS in physics from South Carolina State University in 2011 and a PhD in Applied Physics with Medical Physics Concentration from the University of South Florida in 2016. Dr. Graham was the first black woman to earn a PhD in Applied Physics from USF. Following graduation, Dr. Graham completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Orlando Health UF Health Cancer Center where she commissioned and characterized the AIRO Mobile CT Scanner for image-guided proton therapy. She subsequently completed a medical physics residency at the Orlando Health UF Health Cancer Center. Dr. Graham’s motto is Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” and she acknowledges the support of her advisors and mentors from USF and SCSU. It is Dr. Graham’s lifelong goal to mentor and encourage young women to enter the physics profession and to improve the clinical outcomes and cancer survival rates of all patients, especially those from underrepresented groups.
