Currently, Dr Berlin is a staff clinician-scientist radiation oncologist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, Canada. His clinical practice focuses in the characterization of genitourinary malignancies with molecular and MR imaging, novel applications of curative treatments combining systemic, stereotactic radiotherapy and MR- guided brachytherapy approaches. Dr Berlin is particularly interested in the design of innovative clinical trials, translational oncology, and the discovery of biomarkers using high-throughput genomics. Dr Berlin was an active member of the Canadian Prostate Cancer (CPC-GENE) project, part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC). Dr Berlin has co-authored publications in Nature, Nature Genetics, Lancet Oncology, Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO), Oncotarget, European Urology, and the main journals of his specialty Radiotherapy&Oncology and International Journal of Radiation, Oncology, Biology, Physics (IJROBP). At this early stage of his career Dr Berlin aims to convey his clinical and research expertise towards obtaining robust and validated genomic- and image-based biomarkers that may ultimately translate in novel individualized treatments for patients with prostate cancer.
