Amit Noheria, M.B.B.S., S.M. Research Interests:
Assistant Professor of Internal
Medicine, Cardiovascular Division Dr. Noheria's research interests include the improvement and optimization

electrophysiologic mapping and ablation techniques for ventricular
Clifford G. Robinson, M.D. arrhythmias including premature ventricular beats and ventricular fibrillation.
Associate Professor He is interested in epidemiology, treatments and clinical outcomes of heart
Radiation Oncology rhythm disorders in complex heart disease populations like congenital heart

Research Interests:
Dr. Robinson's research interests include optimizing dosing and delivery of
radiotherapy with or without the addition of biologic modifiers for purposes of
tumor control and normal tissue protection. He has written and opened
several institutional prospective trials through the Siteman Cancer Center
with topics ranging from neuroprotection after cranial radiotherapy,
hypofractionationated proton radiotherapy for locally-advanced non-small cell
lung cancer, and MRI-guided stereotactic radiotherapy for ovarian cancer.
Recently, he has collaborated with CBAC member Dr. Phillip Cuculich to
explore the use of SBRT for treatment of ventricular tachycardia, and have
initiated development of a phase I protocol on the same topic. He is excited
to bring his experience in advanced radiotherapy delivery and clinical trial
design to the CBAC, and more importantly, to learn from the wealth of
experience within the consortium.
