Nanoscale standardisation of DNA damage for Emerging Isotopes in Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection

  Research Group: Soft Matter Biological and Medical Physics
The nuclear sector is entering a new era with the rise of targeted radionuclide therapies. Emerging Auger emitters, such as terbium-161 and platinum-195m, offer nanoscale precision in treating disease, but they also present a significant "blind spot" in current radiation protection frameworks.

Developing sustainable supplies of lithium-6 and lithium-7 for the nuclear sector

Future decades are likely to see greatly increased demand for lithium-6 and lithium-7 for use in nuclear fusion blankets and for pressurised water reactor coolant systems, respectively, but current supply of these isotopes is limited. Read more

Developing and characterising novel targeted nanocomposites serving as adjuvants to existing standard-of-care cancer treatments

One in two cancer patients will receive radiotherapy as part of their standard-of-care treatment. For patients with a localised cancer diagnosis effective radiotherapy represents the best chance for a curative outcome but is not without risk. Read more
