About
Dr. Jiayao Sun is a leading figure in the advancement of particle therapy, with a focused expertise in medical physics and precision radiation oncology. Her most-cited work centers on the development and validation of innovative patient positioning systems, particularly for upright posture treatments. In her landmark 2020 study, Dr. Sun evaluated a novel six-degree-of-freedom treatment chair (6DTC) designed for fixed horizontal ion beam lines. This work demonstrated the mechanical accuracy and robustness of x-ray-based image guidance for patient alignment, achieving 34 citations and establishing a critical foundation for more accessible and ergonomic particle therapy. By enabling precise patient positioning in an upright posture, her contributions directly address key challenges in proton and carbon ion therapy, potentially reducing treatment costs and improving patient comfort. Dr. Sun’s research is pivotal in bridging the gap between advanced beam delivery technology and practical clinical implementation, making her a key innovator in the push toward more efficient and patient-friendly cancer treatments.
