Rounding up the RadNet/BRC showcase, we saw some of the radiobiology research coming out of the proton research room.
Amy gave a fantastic talk on her work looking at radiation/drug combinations to improve the effectiveness of proton therapy 🧬
The RadNet/BRC showcase also saw talks from group members on some of the work we've been doing! Here are Nick and Mike presenting the capabilities of our Proton Research Beamline 🔬
