Radiation Oncology-Biology Integration Network (ROBIN) Centers are National Cancer Institute (NCI) funded research groups aimed at tackling critical hypothesis-driven research that will transform radiation oncology from a primarily anatomically-based modality to a biology-driven field.
Our TeamGet Involved

KidsROBIN

This project is led by Dr. Daphne Haas-Kogan and Dr. Franziska Michor, and is a unique team of clinician scientists and basic scientists from the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) and the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) organized to perform transformative research focused on improving outcomes for children diagnosed with cancer.  We bring together highly multi-disciplinary expertise across pediatric oncology, cancer genetics, medical physics, machine learning and data science, and radiation oncology.
