Clinical Scientist (Hybrid)

Who We Are

RefleXion is developing the SCINTIX™ biology-guided radiotherapy* machine that is the first to utilize the cancer’s biology itself to control radiation delivery, even in tumors that are moving. By using positron emission tomography (PET), RefleXion’s platform enables a leap forward in the ongoing goal of conventional radiotherapy to manage motion, and potentially diminish radiation toxicity, making it feasible to one day provide more options for patients with advanced stage cancer.  

Currently, the RefleXion X1 machine is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the delivery of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
