James E. Marks, M.D.

Dr. Marks grew up in a small Illinois town 200 miles north of St. Louis, attended Knox College and entered Washington University School of Medicine in 1961. After graduating in 1965 he spent seven years in training, mostly at the University of Chicago, and was certified by the American Board of Radiology to practice therapeutic radiology or radiation oncology in 1972. He spent one-third of his career teaching and doing research at Washington University School of Medicine, one-third as Professor and Chairman of the Department of Radiotherapy at Loyola University Chicago and one-third caring for cancer patients at Missouri Baptist Medical Center in St. Louis. He is a member of many learned societies and previously served as the President of the American College of Radiation Oncology. The author of more than 125 research publications and other scholarly works, Dr. Marks recently retired from clinical practice and looks forward to meeting some of his student successors in the School of Medicine.
