About
Ella Wajnryt is a pioneering researcher in radiation oncology, with a focused expertise in upright image-guided proton therapy for challenging malignancies. Her major contribution lies in advancing the clinical application of gantry-less proton therapy, particularly for locally recurrent head and neck and brain tumors—a patient population with limited treatment options. In her landmark 2025 prospective clinical trial, Wajnryt demonstrated the feasibility and safety of treating patients in an upright position using a fixed beamline and robotic positioning, leveraging novel vertical CT systems. This work has already garnered 3 citations, signaling its immediate impact on the field. By addressing the technical and clinical challenges of upright proton therapy, she is helping to expand access to precise, image-guided radiation while reducing the footprint and cost of treatment facilities. Wajnryt’s research not only opens new avenues for managing recurrent disease but also reimagines the future of proton therapy delivery, making her a notable figure in the evolution of modern radiotherapy.
