Radiation therapy firm Varian Medical Systems has tapped Dr. Deepak "Dee" Khuntia as vice president of medical affairs.
Khuntia joined Varian earlier this month after serving for two years as director of research and education at a large private practice in the San Francisco Bay area, Varian said. Prior to that assignment, he practiced at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where he served in many leadership roles, including residency program director, vice chair of radiation oncology outreach, and course director for neoplastic diseases at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
He will partner with Varian's Quality and Regulatory teams to provide clinical and scientific guidance in areas of clinical risk, safety reviews, adverse experience reporting, product life-cycle reviews, and clinical protocol design.
