Jessica Scholey, PhD, MSc
Assistant Professor
Radiation Oncology
School of Medicine

Upon completion of her clinical training and ABR certification, she received her PhD from the Joint UC Berkeley-UCSF Bioengineering Program. She joined the faculty in 2017 and focuses on radiation oncology applications of MRI, proton therapy, and deep learning using medical imaging. Dr. Scholey leads the educational curriculum of MRI and proton therapy in the Department of Radiation Oncology and is an active member of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group, and the UCSF Center for Intelligent Imaging.
