FLASH MODALITIES: PROTONS AND CARBON IONS

Some things are too important not to share, which is why we are giving free access to selected sessions from the FRPT 2021 Virtual Conference to everyone interested in FLASH and Particle Therapy.

We hope you enjoy this lecture from Marco Durante, chaired by Marie-Catherine Vozenin, and we look forward to seeing you at the FRPT 2022 Conference!

Coordinator of International BioPhysics Collaboration

Prof. Dr. Marco Durante is Director of the Biophysics Department at GSI Helmholtz Center and Full Professor of Physics at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. He dedicated his research efforts to the biophysics of high-energy charged particles, with applications in cancer therapy and space radiation protection. He is generally recognized as world leader in the field of particle radiobiology and medical physics and is co-author of over 400 scientific publications (h-index=54) and one patent on proton therapy. He has been awarded several prizes for his contributions to charged particle biophysics, including the 2013 ERRS Bacq & Alexander award and the 2020 RRS Failla award.

Marie-Catherine Vozenin

CHUV, Switzerland
Organizer of the 2nd FLASH Workshop

My research projects aim at finding innovative tools to protect normal tissue and enhance tumor control. With my team, we have developed FLASH-Radiotherapy that minimizes normal tissue toxicity and eradicates tumors in various organs and species. We are investigating the entirely different biological response induced after FLASH exposure and have worked to secure the translation of FLASH-RT to cancer patients.
