Normal tissue damage after radiation and hyperthermia |
Priyanshu Sinha, MSc Graduated from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main with a master’s degree in Physical Biology of Cells Cell Interactions (Cell Biology). Previously held an industry trainee position in the field of Microbiology but shifted his focus to pursue research with the long term aim to clinically establish combinational therapies in the field of precision oncology. His MSc thesis is focused on modelling adapting immune response in patient derived colorectal cancer organoids where my goal was to establish an allogenic CD8+ T cell cocultures system for physiological T cell expansion, and tumor cytotoxicity. During his PhD, he will be part of preclinical studies investigating normal tissue response to radiation and hyperthermia using established mouse model Long_BioKeywords Hyperthermia, Radiation, in vivo and in vitro models Social media

Tumor pathophysiology and the response to radiation and hyperthermia |
Folefac Charlemagne Asonganyi, MSc studied and obtained BSc in Medical Laboratory Sciences in 2013 from Buea University in Cameroon. Worked as a medical laboratory scientist and a research assistant in Cameroon until 2017. After that he moved to Belgium and obtained a MSc at Hasselt University in Biomedical Sciences (Specialty in Clinical Molecular Sciences) in 2019. His thesis was focus on the biodistribution and cytotoxicity of antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticle for cancer radiotherapy at SCK.CEN Mol, one of Belgium's Nuclear Research Centre involved in radiation and cancer research. During his PhD, he will be investigating tumour pathophysiology and response to radiation and hyperthermia during cancer therapy in a mouse model.

Requirements clinical RT+HT treatment data reporting |
Carolina Seabra, MSc Holds an integrated BSE/MSE degree in Biomedical Engineering and Biophysics, with a specialisation in Radiation for Diagnosis and Treatment from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. The Masters dissertation was focused on Prostate Cancer and Deep Learning. In detail, she used prostate histopathology images to feed a convolutional neural network, which could automatically classify tumour and non-tumour images. Afterwards, she worked as a junior researcher in the Physics Research division in Maastro, where she was involved in projects related to proton radiotherapy, mainly focused on investigating and developing imaging techniques to verify beam delivery.
