William Regine is an internationally renowned physician-scientist who is a leader in the field of radiation oncology and an expert in the areas of gastrointestinal (GI) and central nervous system (CNS) malignancies.
Dr. Regine has served as principal investigator for multiple National Cancer Institute-sponsored clinical trials, many of which have helped redefine new standards of care for GI and CNS cancer patients. He has chaired the School of Medicine’s (UMSOM) Department of Radiation Oncology since 2003. The department, which has pioneered radiation treatment in cancer, has achieved a top-five national ranking in National Institutes of Health research funding.
As senior associate dean for clinical affairs, Regine serves as UMSOM’s chief physician, overseeing clinical care, business, and other matters related to the school’s clinical faculty. He also is the executive director of the Maryland Proton Treatment Center (MPTC) and president of University of Maryland Faculty Physicians, Inc. (FPI).
At MPTC, he leads the most advanced facility of its kind in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., region, providing nearly 2,000 cancer patients a year with precise “pencil-beam” technology to treat solid tumors. With FPI, he spearheads strategic efforts in financial growth and success for this organization, which is made up of more than 1,200 UMSOM faculty members who provide care to more than 1.5 million outpatients and inpatients every year.
Regine is the co-editor of “Principles and Practices of Stereotactic Radiosurgery,” the first comprehensive textbook of its kind, and has written more than 200 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He also is the co-inventor of the first-of-its-kind treatment device completely dedicated to the stereotactic radiation treatment of early stage breast cancer, known as the GammaPod.
Among his many accolades, Regine was the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2016 and received The Daily Record Health Care Heroes Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019 and the American Cancer Society’s MileOne Visionary Award in 2021.
