Happy International Day of Medical Physics (and Maria Sklodowska Curie's birthday) ! Medical Physics will play an increasing role our newly announced RadNet award, with a focus on #AI and virtual clinical trials. #IDMP2024 #medphys #radonc @RT_physics

[PRECISE @PRECISEProtons]

We wanted to highlight another amazing of our clinical colleagues who work closely with, and support PRECISE.

Meet Dr. Adam Aitkenhead, PhD. Clinical Scientist in the Proton Therapy Physics Group.

The Research Room is the 4th gantry room at the Christie NHS. The beamline is 100% dedicated to research. We can only use the beamline when patients aren’t being treated, meaning all our experiments are done overnight. Here's a quick tour of the Research Room.

VHEE (Very High Energy Electron) beams are a promising alternative to conventional radiotherapy due to their highly penetrating nature and their potential for efficient FLASH (ultra-high dose-rate) radiotherapy. #cancer #radiotherapy #VHEE #FLASH

And many thanks to examiners Mike Taylor and Kristoffer Petersson! An excellent EPSRC studentship through DTP.

[Prof. Roger Jones @RogerMJones]

Congratulations to Hannah Wanstall a @UoMPhysics @cockcroft_news
PhD student in my group who passed her viva on Cancer cell survival & RBE on irradiation by VHEE beams at CLARA, ARES and CLEAR. Well done and congratulations for excellent work!Three journal papers also in print!

Time to do an experiment with the present offered by Kenes @FRPT23. As you see Xo is doubting, I hope for nice results 😊. What about yours ⁦@karenjoykirkby⁩ ⁦@MKoritzinsky⁩ ⁦@JanPOSchuemann⁩? #FLASH #Kenes team thank you for the fantastic job at promoting FLASH

[FLASH Radiotherapy & Particle Therapy @FlashRPT]

📢 “I believe FLASH will be revolutionary,” says Dr. Petersson
🚀 The field of radiotherapy is undergoing evolution, with these advancements enabling more effective cancer treatment while minimizing side effects.

Acute hypoxia does not alter tumor sensitivity to FLASH radiotherapy https://t.co/KIjxKwO1Xe

[Retraction Watch @RetractionWatch]

That paper no one could stop talking about for 24 hours (https://t.co/btOqnPc1cA) has been retracted.
