Maxim Kuznetsov, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Division of Mathematical Oncology and Computational Systems Biology at Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope. He focuses on mathematical modeling of various types of antitumor treatment with the key goal of suggesting ways to improve their efficacy in clinical settings. Dr. Kuznetsov received his doctorate in Physics and Mathematics with a dissertation on the topic “Mathematical modeling of tumor growth under the influence of antiangiogenic therapy and radiotherapy”. In recent years, he has been working at P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute, where his main research interest was spatiotemporal optimization of external beam radiotherapy. Another direction of his research was the investigation of the formation and evolution of spatiotemporal structures in general nonlinear systems. In City of Hope, he applies his expertise, in particular, to the task of optimizing targeted radionuclide therapy and immunotherapy.
