Kathryn Ries Tringale MD MAS

Summary

• I am an Assistant Professor of Radiation Medicine at UC San Diego. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended Brown University, where I received my degree in biomedical engineering. Before attending medical school at the University of California, San Diego, I continued my undergraduate thesis work in brain computer interface clinical trials with the BrainGate group at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Throughout medical school, I was involved in a variety of research endeavors, including cost-effectiveness, clinical trials, and medical ethics. The thesis for my master’s degree in clinical research investigated the use of advanced diffusion imaging techniques as biomarkers for neurocognitive performance in people undergoing brain radiotherapy. I completed my preliminary year internship in internal medicine at Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles. I did my residency training in radiation oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center where I spent a year as the Lacher Lymphoma Fellow.
