Gregory Russo, M.D. is currently the Chief
Resident in the Department of Radiation Oncology. Dr. Russo obtained his B.S.
degree in Biochemical Engineering, with highest honors, from Rutgers University
in New Brunswick, NJ. After graduation he worked as an engineer in the Boston
are for four years before returning to medical school at the University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey’s Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in
New Brunswick, NJ. He graduated with an M.D. degree in May 2003. He completed
an internship in internal medicine in New York City at St. Vincent’s Hospital
and served as resident in the department of Radiation Oncology at Thomas
Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia for three years, until recently
being promoted to Chief Resident.
As a resident Dr. Russo trains broadly in the discipline of radiation
oncology. His specific interests are in the treatment of head and neck cancer,
CNS malignancies, and pediatric malignancies. His research has focused on late
toxicity associated with new treatment modalities, and molecular correlates of
response/outcome in patients with head and neck cancer.
