About Nano-IBCT

Ion beam therapy offers the possibility of excellent dose localization for treatment of malignant tumors, minimizing radiation damage in normal tissue, while maximising cell-killing within the tumour. Hovewer, the full potential of such therapy can only be realized by better understanding the physical, chemical and biological mechanisms, on a range of time and space scales, that lead to cell death under ion irradiation. The Nano-IBCT action therefore aims to combine, using a multiscale approach, the unique experimental and theoretical expertise available within Europe to acquire greater insight at the nanoscopic and molecular level into radiation damage induced by ion impact.
