DLNP joint laboratory seminar

Date and Time: Wednesday, 30 March 2022, at 11:00 AM

Venue: online seminar on Zoom, Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems

Seminar topic: “Development Prospects for Proton Radiotherapy at DLNP JINR”

Speaker: Alexey Agapov

Abstract:

The seminar will review the status of the work done at the DLNP Medical-Technical Complex within the JINR Topical Plan on the topic “Biomedical and Radiation-Genetic Studies Using Different Types of Ionizing Radiation”.

An innovation centre for applied research is intended to be established according to the Strategic Plan of the Long-Term (up to 2030) JINR Development in order to conduct experimental and clinical studies in proton therapy within the cross-laboratory cooperation. In view of this, the possibility of introducing at the innovation centre some irradiation techniques already tested with the proton beam of the Phasotron accelerator will be considered.
