Dr. Austin-Seymour specializes in head and neck cancer, breast cancer, salivary gland tumors,and neutron radiotherapy. She is the first Wootton Professor of Radiation Oncology.

Dr. Mary Austin-Seymour received her medical degree at the University of Chicago. She became a doctor and specialized in oncology because she likes to care for people at a critical time in their lives. In taking care of patients, she tries to be a good listener and uses technological advances to give patients the best possible radiation treatments

Dr. Austin-Seymour has two children, a teenaged daughter and a son in elementary school. Her husband is a Lutheran pastor. "I don't have time for much besides working and being a mother," says Dr. Austin-Seymour, but when she can, she enjoys reading fiction and going to the opera.
