Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this short review is to give a personal appreciation of a woman who was my mentor and friend and who made enormous contributions in the field of translational radiation biology.

Conclusion

Julie Denekamp was a talented and charismatic scientist and teacher. She was a major contributor to our understanding of the effects of fractionation schedules on the response of tumors and normal tissues to radiotherapy and of factors that could be manipulated to alter these responses. She was also one of the first to recognize that the fragile state of tumor vasculature could be exploited in targeted radiotherapy.
