Deepak Khuntia: Welcoming Cliff Robinson as Vice President of Clinical Research at Varian

Deepak Khuntia, SVP and Chief Medical Officer  of Varian at Siemens Healthineers, shared on LinkedIn:

“I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Clifford G. Robinson to Varian as our new Vice President of Clinical Research within Medical Affairs.

I’ve admired Cliff’s work for many years. He is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading clinical investigators in radiation oncology, with an exceptional track record of translating innovative ideas into practice. From advancing thoracic oncology and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to pioneering noninvasive cardiac radioablation for ventricular tachycardia, Cliff has consistently helped redefine what radiotherapy can accomplish.

In his new role, Cliff will lead the clinical strategy for Varian’s recently announced ARPA-H-funded FLASH photon program, helping guide this transformative technology from development to patient care. He will also oversee key decisions across our sponsored clinical research portfolio, support investigator-initiated studies, and help shape our strategy in exciting areas such as FLASH radiotherapy, theranostics, immunotherapy, and non-oncologic applications of radiation therapy.

What excites me most is not only Cliff’s remarkable scientific accomplishments, but also his passion for collaboration, mentorship, and improving outcomes for patients around the world. His leadership will strengthen our ability to bring meaningful innovation to the clinic and continue expanding the possibilities of radiotherapy.

Please join me in welcoming Cliff Robinson to the Varian family. I’m excited to work alongside him as we continue pursuing our mission of creating a world without fear of cancer.”
