Healthcare company Varian is innovating new technologies to help healthcare providers and cancer patients plan and manage their treatment

Kevin Lo , the Senior Managing Director for Varian in Southeast Asia and the Korea region , has been with Varian for almost nine years . He ’ s spent the last 25 years of his career in healthcare and 15 years in radiation oncology .

“ I have seen enough cancer patients ,” says Lo of his time in this challenging , yet exciting , career . “ I have also seen both of my parents get cancer - now they ’ re cancer survivors . But my mother-in-law , she passed away due to leukaemia . So that ' s why cancer is always in my mind , not only professionally , but actually in my private life .”
“ I think at Varian , we share a very important passion that ' s about creating or achieving a world without fear of cancer . That ' s truly something in our minds and in our hearts . From the top to the very fundamental staff , we are working towards that mission .”
Creating a world without fear of cancer Varian , a Siemens Healthineers company , wants to create a world without fear of cancer . Founded in Palo Alto , California , USA , Varian has been developing technological solutions since 1948 and has since expanded across the world . Lo moved to Varian due to his experience as a radiation oncologist and his interest in new technologies .
“ I love new technology . My passion is how we transform these technologies in a way for them to be commercialised and that we can use clinically ,” says Lo .
