John M. Bryant, M.D.

Roles

• Biography

  + –
  John Michael Bryant, M.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and an affiliate member of the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. A Miami native, Dr. Bryant specializes in the treatment of gastrointestinal and thoracic malignancies, integrating advanced radiation therapy approaches, including MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy, to deliver precise, individualized care.
  Dr. Bryant’s research sits at the intersection of engineering, physics, and radiation oncology. With formal training in electrical engineering and doctoral training in biomedical engineering, he leads translational efforts to develop magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs) as tumor-targeted theranostic agents that combine diagnostic imaging with remotely activated, localized therapy. In parallel, he collaborates on machine learning and deep neural network applications to support response assessment, outcome prediction, and real-time treatment adaptation for anatomically complex tumors.
  Dr. Bryant earned his M.D. from the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine at Florida International University and completed his radiation oncology residency at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute/University of South Florida (serving as Chief Resident). He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and has received internal and external research support. His work includes the first in vivo demonstration of magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs) in a preclinical pancreatic cancer model, enabling MRI-based tumor localization and remotely activated, targeted therapy.
