Head shot of Jolinta Lin

Overview

Jolinta Lin, MD, is a board certified radiation oncologist specializing in the treatment of breast and gastrointestinal cancer. She treats patients at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University and Loughlin Radiation Oncology Center at Grady.

Dr. Lin serves as director of the residency program in the Department of Radiation Oncology. She is actively involved in teaching and research activities for physician residents and rotating medical students.

Dr. Lin is a member of multiple professional organizations including the American Society for Radiation Oncology, the American Board of Radiology, and the American College of Radiology.

Dr. Lin graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a BS in Biology, and completed medical school at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. She completed her medical internship at Greater Baltimore Medical Center and her radiation oncology residency at University of Maryland Medical Center.

Dr. Lin has been recognized for her academic and research pursuits. In residency, she was awarded the Roentgen Resident/Fellow Research Award, as well as a Department of Radiation Oncology SEED grant. Dr. Lin was elected to represent her peers nationwide and served on the American College of Radiology Resident Fellow Section Executive Committee from 2014-2015. Besides her academic pursuits, she continues to be committed to excellent patient care. In 2013, she was recognized by the University of Maryland Center Commitment to Excellence Employment Engagement Team for going beyond expectations to provide quality patient care.

Dr. Lins research interests include understanding mechanisms of toxicity from radiation therapy, identifying potential pathways to decrease side effects, and improving patients quality-of-life issues. While in residency, she helped initiate a clinical trial that studied the effects of probiotics in patients undergoing prostate cancer treatment.

Dr. Lin is the co-author of several articles in peer-reviewed journals.
