Keenan Research Seminar Series: Reprogramming Metabolism for Cancer Therapy

Dr. Koritzinsky has a PhD from the University of Oslo (Norway) and completed postdoctoral training at the University of Maastricht (The Netherlands).

She is a Senior Scientist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Professor and Director of Research at the Department of Radiation Oncology, with cross appointments to the Department of Medical Biophysics and the Institute of Medical Science, University of Toronto. She holds a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Cancer Redox and Radiation Biology and co-leads the Tumor Microenvironment program at the Princess Margaret.

The aim of her research program is to increase our understanding of molecular and cellular responses to hypoxia, altered metabolism and redox homeostasis in the tumor microenvironment, with the ultimate goal of targeting these responses to improve patient outcomes.

Dr. Koritzinsky is a recipient of the ESTRO-Juliana Denekamp research award, the Terry Fox Research Institute New Investigator award, and the Radiation Research Society Michael Fry award.
