About
Dr. I-Chun Cho is a pioneering researcher whose work bridges the critical intersection of medical physics and space radiation science. Her primary research areas encompass radiation dosimetry, treatment planning optimization in radiosurgery, and the characterization of deep space radiation environments. Dr. Cho’s major contributions include a seminal study on plan quality and secondary cancer risk assessment for patients with benign intracranial lesions treated with the CyberKnife M6 robotic radiosurgery system. This work, which has garnered 4 citations, provided crucial comparative data on multileaf collimator (MLC)-based versus IRIS-based treatment plans, directly informing safer clinical protocols. More recently, Dr. Cho has expanded her expertise into space exploration, leading the development of the Deep Space Radiation Probe—a first-of-its-kind lunar science payload designed for space environment studies and capacity building. This ambitious project, already cited 3 times, addresses the pressing need to characterize radiation hazards beyond Low Earth Orbit, including in cislunar and lunar space. Through this dual focus on terrestrial patient safety and extraterrestrial exploration, Dr. Cho exemplifies translational research that protects human health both on Earth and in the cosmos.
