Dr. Senthamizhchelvan Srinivasan is a postdoctoral fellow in the Radionuclide Therapy and Dosimetry Research Lab, Division of Nuclear Medicine in the Russell H. Morgan Dept of Radiology and Radiological Science at the Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine. He received his Master’s degree in Medical Physics from Anna University, Chennai, India and Ph.D. in Medical Physics from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.

Dr. Srinivasan has worked on Biodosimetry using unstable chromosome aberrations and micronucleus in human lymphocytes for his Ph.D. degree entitled “Biological dosimetry in therapeutic irradiation by cytogenetic analysis”. He also received Indo-Swiss Bilateral Research Initiative (ISBRI) fellowship. Under this fellowship he worked at the PET Instrumentation & Neuroimaging Laboratory (PINLab), Geneva University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland, with Prof. Habib Zaidi in the development of accurate and reproducible image segmentation techniques for PET/CT based radiation therapy treatment planning.

Research:

Dr. Srinivasan is currently working on clinical dosimetry (with Dr. Robert Hobbs) of targeted radionuclide therapy in thyroid cancer, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and dose-response studies on pediatric osteosarcoma patients treated with ¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP.
