Second MoVe IT Live Update Meeting

Friday 25 Jan 2019, 09:00 → 16:30 Europe/Rome

Aula Copernico of the Molecular Biotechnology Center (MBC) of the University of Torino (Torino)

Advancing Particle Therapy requires models for biologically optimized treatment planning systems (TPS) in ion beam therapy, and dedicated devices for plan verification, allowing validation accounting for a wide range of complex physical and biological effects.

The MoVe IT project (INFN Call group V) aims at exploiting both modeling and verification methods for ion beam TPS with a main focus on RBE, biological impact of nuclear  fragmentation (including target fragments)  and intra-tumor heterogeneity.
