Workshop on Innovative Delivery Systems in Particle Therapy

23 Feb 2017, 12:30 → 25 Feb 2017, 17:00 Europe/Rome

Copernico (Molecular Biotechnology Center)

The workshop will take place on the 23th and 24th of February at the Molecular Biotechnology Center of the University of Torino, and on the 25th at the CNAO National Center of Oncological Hadrontherapy in Pavia. The program of the workshop will begin on Thursday 23 at 13:30 and will close on Saturday 25 at 12:00 with a guided tour to the CNAO. 

Bus transportation to Pavia and return will be provided for all the participants. Additional information in the section Venue & Travel Information.

Presentations will focus on the state of the art and on the new developments of dose delivery systems for Particle Therapy.
