About
Jonathan D. Tward
Jonathan Tward, MD, PhD is a tenured Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology and an internationally recognized pioneer in artificial-intelligence (AI)–driven digital and molecular oncology. A major authority on prostate, bladder, and penile cancers, he also holds the Vincent P. and Janet Mancini Presidential Endowed Chair in Genitourinary Malignancies at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). Dr. Tward directs the HCI Genitourinary Cancers Center (GUCC), coordinating nearly 100 investigators across 45 University of Utah or HCI departments and 21 interdisciplinary programs. Under his leadership, the Center has built an integrated digital-molecular ecosystem—linking multimodal imaging, high-throughput “omics” data, and electronic health records—to power AI-enabled discovery, prognostic and predictive biomarker development, and precision-oncology workflows. He guides the Center’s strategic vision and day-to-day operations, fostering multidisciplinary collaboration across patient care, community engagement, research, and philanthropy. A highly targeted radiation therapy specialist, Dr. Tward deploys cutting-edge technologies—including IMRT, IGRT, SBRT, and both low- and high-dose-rate brachytherapy—often enhanced by AI-based image segmentation and adaptive-planning algorithms. His translational research couples these platforms with molecular oncology, using genomic, transcriptomic, epigenetic, and proteomic profiling to discover and clinically validate biomarkers that forecast treatment response and long-term outcomes. Dr. Tward’s research portfolio spans machine-learning analytics, digital pathology, and large-scale comparative-effectiveness studies, and he serves as Principal Investigator on multiple investigator-initiated clinical trials that integrate molecular signatures and AI-guided treatment adaptation in real time. He has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications, many at the intersection of AI, big-data science, and molecular biomarkers for genitourinary cancers. A committed advocate and educator, Dr. Tward is Utah’s State Captain for the American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), sits on National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline panels for prostate, bladder, and penile cancers, and contributes to NCCN resource-stratification frameworks that embed digital and molecular solutions for low- and middle-income settings. Before joining HCI, Dr. Tward founded and led several pioneering e-commerce and health-tech companies—experience that now fuels his approach to digital and molecular oncology innovation. He earned a BS in Biology from UCLA, and both a PhD in Biochemistry and an MD from Tufts University, followed by a residency in Radiation Oncology at the University of Utah. Today, Dr. Tward’s hybrid expertise in clinical oncology, computational science, and molecular biomarker discovery positions him as a global leader shaping the future of AI-powered digital and molecular oncology.
