Complutense University, the largest university in Spain, will
make this award of an honorary Doctorate of Science degree to Dr.
Brady during a special ceremony at the university. He was
recommended for the honor by Prof. Dr. Felipe A. Calvo, Hospital
Vice-Dean of the Medical School and Chair-Professor at Complutense
University.
Dr. Brady said, “I am very pleased to receive this honorary
degree from Complutense University. It always represents a humbling
but rewarding experience when you are recognized for the work that
you have done.”
This will be Dr. Brady’s seventh honorary degree. His six
previous degrees are a Doctor of Fine Arts from Colgate University
in 1988, Doctor of Science from Lehigh University in 1990, Doctor
of Medicine from Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University in
1996, Doctor of Medicine from the University of Heidelberg in 1997,
Doctor of Fine Arts from George Washington University in May 2004,
and a Doctor of Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts in May 2009.
Dr. Brady is the founder of The CyberKnife Center of
Philadelphia and one of the most distinguished pioneers in the
field of radiation oncology. He is recognized as one of the world's
foremost experts on cancer treatment and has published more than
800 papers in peer review journals and led numerous clinical
trials. Virtually every radiation oncologist in the world is
familiar with his text books and the Encyclopedia of Radiation
Oncology (Brady-Yaeger Eds.). He has received over thirty medals
for his contributions in medicine and has served as president of
every major radiation oncology professional society.
Dr. Brady was born in North Carolina and received his
undergraduate and medical degrees at George Washington University
in Washington, D.C. He received post-graduate training in radiology
and radiation oncology at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Bethesda, and
in Philadelphia at Thomas Jefferson Medical College and the
Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He has had appointments
at the Harvard Medical School, The College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Columbia University, but has spent the majority of his
career in Philadelphia first at the University of Pennsylvania, and
since 1959, at Hahnemann University Hospital, now Drexel
University.
“Everyone at Alliance Oncology is proud that Dr. Brady will
receive such an honor,” said Spurlock. “Dr. Brady has contributed
significantly over the years to the field of radiation oncology and
this recognition of his hard work and dedication is much
deserved.”
