More about Dr. Fisher

Dr. Darrell Fisher is a medical physicist, internal dosimetry specialist, and radiation safety professional with Versant Medical Physics & Radiation Safety. During 35 years at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, he served as senior research scientist, program manager, and lead for the Laboratory’s isotope sciences program–a national nuclear technology resource.

His background includes work in medical physics, radiological sciences, radiation protection, radiation biology, nuclear engineering sciences, environmental sciences, radioisotope production, and radiochemistry. He specializes in the health effects and dosimetry of exposure to radioactive materials, medically administered radiopharmaceuticals, and uranium compounds. He provides medical internal dosimetry to various cancer research centers and pharmaceutical companies involved in studies on the effectiveness of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies in cancer diagnosis and therapy. He helped to design therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, such as alpha-emitter immunoconjugates and beta-emitter radiogels as next-generation cancer treatments.  He invented resorbable brachytherapy seeds and injectable radionuclide polymer composites for controlled delivery of yttrium-90 microspheres for treating non-resectable solid tumors.

Dr. Darrell Fisher is Research Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Washington State University College of Pharmacy, Affiliate Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and Affiliate Investigator in Clinical Research at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. He recently served as president of the Health Physics Society. As a loaned scientist from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Fisher previously served as senior technology advisor at U.S. Customs and Border Protection headquarters, in the Department of Homeland Security (2003-2005). And years earlier, he also served as an advisor to the U.S. Department of Energy on a three-year “openness” initiative involving review of the history of nuclear medicine and human radiation experiments.

Dr. Darrell Fisher serves as a technical proposal reviewer for various study sections of the National Cancer Institute and for the DOE Office of Science. He is a reviewer for the National Academy of Sciences, for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and for several science and medical journals. Since receiving his formal education, he has completed continuing education in environmental compliance, project management, leadership, and human relations.
