Corinne Johnson Manchester Cancer Research Centre, The University of Manchester, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust Manchester, UK

Corinne graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Physics from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2012, and an MSc in Medical Physics from the University of Aberdeen, in 2013, before commencing clinical scientist training, specializing in radiotherapy, at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness. In January 2015, she joined the Radiotherapy Related Research group at the Manchester Cancer Research Centre to undertake her doctoral studies as part of the theragnostics project. The theragnostics team applies machine learning and data mining techniques to routine clinical data with the aim of predicting clinical outcomes for radiotherapy treatment individualization. Corinne’s PhD project primarily focuses on lung cancer, with her initial work addressing the problems in combining patient cohorts with differently defined target volumes. Her principal research interest is in how patient changes that occur throughout the course of radiotherapy might affect or predict the success and toxicity of a treatment. Her recent work has demonstrated a link between residual set-up errors in image guided radiotherapy and overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients and suggests cardiac dose could be a factor. Following the completion of her PhD, Corinne intends to pursue a joint clinical and research career in radiotherapy physics.
