Biography

Andrew Z. Wang, M.D., is a Professor of Radiation Oncology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. He is Vice Chair for Translational Research & Commercialization and holds the A. Kenneth Pye Professorship in Cancer Research. Dr. Wang specializes in the treatment of genitourinary and gastrointestinal cancers.

Dr. Wang obtained his medical degree from the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology (HST) program at Harvard Medical School. He also earned two Bachelor of Science degrees in biochemistry and biology and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Indiana University with highest distinction. After an internship in internal medicine in New York, he completed clinical training in radiation oncology in the Harvard Radiation Oncology Program. Following residency, Dr. Wang joined the faculty at University of North Carolina in 2009. He rose to the rank of Professor before joining UTSW in 2021.

Dr. Wang’s clinical interests include genitourinary and gastrointestinal cancers and he is familiar with different radiation techniques, including IMRT, IGRT, linac-based SRS, SBRT, and intraoperative radiotherapy and interstitial brachytherapy.

“I want to carefully listen to patients and be their ally,” he says. “I’d like them to know that I will give all of myself to them and will do my best to make sure they receive the highest level of care. That’s how I think about and approach patient care.”

Because of his research accomplishments, Dr. Wang has been elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), and the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI).

Dr. Wang is certified by the American Board of Radiology.
