Potential Global Collaborators

Shannon O'Reilly, PhD, DABR

Radiate Knowledge Creator

Dr. Shannon O’Reilly is a globally engaged medical physicist committed to medical physics capacity building, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. She has played a key role in designing and implementing online training platforms and structured clinical rotations for medical physics trainees. Currently she is working to develop public education programs focused on cancer prevention and HPV vaccination in Ghana, recognizing the critical importance of community engagement in global cancer control. She is also actively involved in outreach initiatives to expand the medical physics pipeline.

Afua Yorke, PhD, DABR

Dr. Afua Yorke is an Assistant Professor and board-certified medical physicist at the University of Washington–Fred Hutch Cancer Center. Her expertise lies in radiation oncology, global oncology program development, and implementation science. She has led projects focused on addressing cancer care disparities in low-resource settings, securing institutional and professional society funding to advance her research. Dr. Yorke conceived the idea for GLOCASSA during research collaborations in Ghana and Uganda, where she observed the impact of centralized RT services on treatment adherence. Drawing on her training and global experience, she has shaped GLOCASSA into a patient-centered tool that directly addresses barriers faced by cancer patients in both LMICs and rural U.S. communities.
