Richard C. Zellars, MD, has been named professor and chair of radiation oncology at Indiana University School of Medicine.
The appointment, pending approval by the university trustees, will be effective in January.
Zellars, a breast cancer researcher, is an associate professor of radiation oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and assistant director of clinical trial accrual at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Zellars’ research focuses on the safety and efficacy of radiation for the treatment of breast cancer. He also does research into health care disparities in African-American women who typically have more severe radiation toxicities.
Zellars also founded the Cancer in the Under-Privileged, Indigent or Disadvantaged Summer Fellowship, which exposes first-year medical students who have a demonstrated interest in serving disadvantaged populations to the specialty of oncology.
