Biography

Dr. Agazaryan is a Professor of Radiation Oncology and the Chief of Clinical Medical Physics at the UCLA Department of Radiation Oncology. He is also a Professor of the Physics and Biology in Medicine Interdepartmental Graduate Program within the UCLA School of Medicine. His appointment in the Department of Radiation Oncology involves research, teaching and clinical practice. Dr. Agazaryan is a Quality Officer of the UCLA Health's Faculty Practice Group (FPG) and the UCLA Department of Radiation Oncology. He is currently the lead professor of the UCLA Physics of Radiation Therapy Graduate Course (PB MED 203) and the Applications of Medical Physics to Clinical Problems: Radiation Therapy Clinical Rotation (PB MED 202C). Dr. Agazaryan is also engaged in mentoring medical physics graduate students, residents and junior faculty. Dr. Agazaryan's research and clinical interests include stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), with an emphasis on clinical implementation of translational research, clinical trials, small field dosimetry and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Dr. Agazaryan has made numerous international and national presentations, published over 40 peer-reviewed papers, over 120 abstracts, book editorial, booklet and several book chapters. He is an investigator of five clinical trials involving the use of Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). Dr. Agazaryan is a Diplomate of The American Board of Radiology (DABR) - board certified in Therapeutic Radiologic Physics. He is also California State licensed to conduct therapy machine calibration and radiation protection surveys.
