Overview
Timothy Robinson, MD, PhD, is a radiation oncologist who specializes in therapeutic radiology, focusing on blood cancers, brain tumors and other central nervous system malignancies.
Dr. Robinson is known for his work in using radiation therapy to improve outcomes for patients undergoing CAR T-cell therapy, a treatment that modifies a patient’s own immune cells to target and destroy cancer.
As an assistant professor of therapeutic radiology at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Robinson is involved in research exploring the role of therapeutic radiation in combination with immune-based therapies like CAR T-cell therapy. His translational research program investigates how alternative splicing (the process of generating multiple proteins from a single gene) and DNA damage repair in cancer cells contributes to resistance against radiation as well as immune and cellular therapies.
Dr. Robinson completed his medical training at Duke University School of Medicine, where he also earned his doctoral degree in molecular cancer biology.
