(EPSRC DTP) Causal Modelling of Cardiac Dose, Tissue Recovery and Survival in Thoracic Reirradiation

Radiotherapy is used to treat many cancers and plays a key role in cancer care. As patients live longer, increasing numbers require a second course of radiotherapy because their cancer recurs or a new cancer develops in a previously treated area. Read more

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Treatment Planning of FLASH Delivery of Cancer Therapy with Focussed Very High Energy Electron Beams

The global burden of cancer continues to increase, with more than 500,000 new cases predicted annually in the UK by 2040. Radiotherapy remains a cornerstone of cancer treatment, but irradiation of healthy tissue surrounding or traversed by the tumour remains a significant limitation. Read more

Precision Medicine DLA – Photon-Counting CT Biomarkers for Early Precision Stratification of Coronary Plaque

  Research Group: Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences
Coronary artery disease remains a leading cause of death, yet current CT angiography chiefly grades luminal stenosis rather than plaque composition, missing many patients with vulnerable but non-obstructive plaque who go on to have heart attacks. Read more

Targeting the tumour microenvironment in brain tumours, a strategy to enhance the therapeutic effect of (proton) radiotherapy

  Research Group: Division of Cancer Sciences
Brain cancer (glioblastoma in adults, medulloblastoma in children) is a growing global health challenge. Radiotherapy, as part of a multimodal treatment approach, is one of the pilars of the standard of care for brain cancer. Read more
