About

Michele Zeverino is a leading medical physicist whose research focuses on advancing stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) through innovative treatment planning and delivery techniques. His most impactful contribution is the pioneering use of robotic non-invasive cardiac radio-ablation as a rescue procedure for electrical storm, a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia. This groundbreaking work, published in 2018 and cited over 100 times, demonstrated the potential of non-invasive radiation to stabilize patients when conventional treatments fail, opening a new frontier in cardio-oncology. Zeverino also made a significant technical contribution with the first clinical implementation and dosimetric evaluation of the VOLO™ inverse planning optimization algorithm for robotic radiosurgery. This novel algorithm, compared against the previous Sequential Optimization, improved dose conformity and treatment efficiency for brain, spine, and prostate cases, directly enhancing patient outcomes. With a career dedicated to translating complex physics into clinical solutions, Zeverino’s work bridges the gap between advanced technology and life-saving treatments, establishing him as a key innovator in precision radiation oncology.
