Dr. Fuller is Professor & Distinguished Educator in the Department of Radiation Oncology. He is an NIH Established Investigator physician-scientist with research focused on development of quantitative spatial (imaging)/non-spatial (semantic) informatics models of both oncologic outcomes and iatrogenic sequelae after head and neck cancer, integrated into patient care through prospective clinical trials. His work has focused specifically on tumor and normal tissue injury response using imaging, leveraging “Big Data” statistical approaches to improve not only for cancer control, but also toxicity reduction. 

After medical training at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Dr. Fuller undertook a PhD in Human Imaging physics integrated into Radiation Oncology residency training . . As a dual boarded radiation oncologist and clinical informatician with formal radiologic sciences/medical physics training, this expertise has led to roles as Primary Investigator on 8 NIH R01 Research Project Grants, a Program Project Grant (P01), and 2 NSF standard award grants focused on modeling and imaging patient-specific toxicity, as well as co-leadership of the P30 CCSG Innovation in Image-guided Interventions (I3) sub-project. As an educator and co-PI of a NIBIB R25 and NCI T32 fellowship training programs, Dr. Fuller has previously been named MD Anderson Cancer Center Distinguished Research Faculty Mentor (2021) and in was inducted into The University of Texas Shine Academy of Health Science Education and the MD Anderson Academy of Health Science Education (both in 2023).
