Timothy E. Sawyer, M.D., president and founder of ImQuant, Inc., is a graduate of the University of Washington School of Medicine. He performed his radiation oncology residency at the Mayo Clinic. While training at Mayo, he received the American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology Clinical Research Award, the award given annually to the radiation oncology resident in the United States performing the most significant clinical cancer research. While then serving a four-year military commitment at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C., he instructed residents at the National Cancer Institute, served on the adjunctive (lecturing) faculty at Johns Hopkins, and continued his research pursuits with the Mayo Clinic. Two years after residency, he became co-director for lung cancer research for the Mayo Clinic's national cooperative, NCI-funded cancer research group, the NCCTG. Though toward the end of his military commitment he accepted a position to return to Mayo, it was very important to him and particularly his wife to return home to Boise. He therefore joined the St. Alphonsus Cancer Care Center in the summer of 2000. A year later, he was appointed the center's Medical Director. A year later, he began pursuing the goal of building a world-class cancer research program in Boise. Frustrated by what he felt were very crude methods of using advanced images to target radiation therapy, he spent approximately 18 months in his home office, attempting to refine the integration of imaging data into oncologic processes. In the fall of 2003, he began a series of meetings with clinicians and engineers at the Mayo Clinic. In 2004, after receiving strong interest from respected scientists, engineers, and clinicians to help him create the technology he envisioned, he founded ImQuant.
