About
Dr. Richard Marshall is a pioneering translational researcher whose work sits at the intersection of radiation oncology and cardiac electrophysiology. His primary research focus involves the novel application of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for non-invasive cardiac ablation, a field now known as stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR). Dr. Marshall’s seminal 2007 study, “Non-invasive ablation of the Left Superior Pulmonary Vein-Left Atrial junction using stereotactic focussed radiation,” was among the first to demonstrate the feasibility of using a robotic-arm-mounted linear accelerator to precisely ablate cardiac tissue in a swine model. This foundational work, which has garnered 3 citations, directly laid the groundwork for a paradigm shift in treating cardiac arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation. By repurposing a technology originally designed for tumor ablation and trigeminal neuralgia, Dr. Marshall helped pioneer a non-invasive alternative to catheter-based procedures. His contributions have been instrumental in bridging the gap between radiation physics and cardiology, inspiring subsequent clinical trials and establishing a new frontier in non-invasive cardiac intervention.
