Carmen Bergom, MD, PhD

Radiation Oncologist

Primary Academic Title

Associate Professor Radiation Oncology, Washington University School of Medicine

Clinical Expertise

Breast cancer

Research Interest

Dr. Bergom is an ROI-funded investigator focused on utilizing unique pre-clinical genetic models to improve the effectiveness of radiation therapy and decrease side effects from radiation exposure of normal tissues. Her research specifically focuses on using genetic models to identify factors in the tumor microenvironment that enhance the effectiveness of radiation therapy, as well as using these models to identify genetic variants that alter the sensitivity of the heart to radiation exposure.
