    Dr. Andrew Sharabi is a physician scientist and board-certified radiation oncologist at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. He sees patients at the La Jolla Moores Cancer Center and his specialties include Prostate (Genitourinary) and Head and Neck Cancers, as well as Skin Cancer and Thoracic Malignancies. He treats patients with novel radiotherapy techniques including intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), and 4-D computed tomography, and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). Dr. Sharabi serves as Director of the Radiation Medicine Core Facility at Moores Cancer Center and is Chair of the American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) Education Committee - Immunotherapy Track.

    Dr. Sharabi is a recognized expert on the effects of radiation on the immune system and the ability of radiation therapy to synergize with checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. He is the PI of multiple investigator initiated clinical trials combining radiation therapy with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy and has published his work in top journals including Nature Communications and Lancet Oncology. His NIH funded laboratory in the Moores Cancer Center focuses on development of novel immunotherapies and strategies to combine radiation with immunotherapy.
