Check out this article published by PRECISE team member Dr. Hannah Wanstall, titled 'First in vitro measurement of VHEE relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in lung and prostate cancer cells using the ARES linac at DESY'. tinyurl.com/VHEERBE #vhee #PhD #CancerResearch

Let us re-introduce ourselves! A few things have changed during our 'accidental' break so we're going to catch you up. We'll be sharing our PRECISE team group bios and a little about our research over the next couple weeks. #precise #gettoknowus #protonresearch

Up first, PRECISE Group Lead Michael Taylor Dr Taylor has expertise in radiation detection and measurement, and Monte-Carlo radiation transport simulations. His research aims to improve proton beam therapy for patient benefit through development of novel techniques and technologies.

The PRECISE team are describing their research in one sentence. Josephine Jones says: “Measuring how far protons travel in patients to stop them precisely in the target.” Check out Josephine's bio below.

We're describing our research as part of the PRECISE team in one sentence. Check out what Charlotte Heaven had to say: "I look at what happens to the DNA in cells after we irradiate them both in the lab and using computer simulations". Check out Charlotte's bio below.

The PRECISE team are describing our research in one sentence so you can learn more about what we do. Jen Antrobus, Research Associate says "I am trying to make cancer cells more sensitive to radiotherapy". Check out Jen's bio below.

Describe your research in one sentence. Joseph Hallett, PhD student with PRECISE says: "My work aims to understand the effects of proton and x-ray radiation on Fanconi Anaemia cells, which have an inherited DNA repair defect". Check out Joseph's bio below.

This week Charlie is using our Thermo Fisher WellWash Versa with our robot BRUC;E! This method for automated fixing of cells is great for those difficult time-points in the middle of the night or experiments under hypoxic conditions.

Waving goodbye to Manchester! Some of our group are off to #frpt2024 in Rome this week! Stay posted for more updates… FLASH Radiotherapy & Particle Therapy

Michael Taylor presenting “Ten years of FLASH” this morning at the opening words! #FRPT2024

Elham Santina chairing a session of talks about FLASH mechanisms! #FRPT2024

PhD students emily and Becky Habgood had an amazing time at FRPT last week!

We're taking a break and signing off for 2024 to enjoy the holidays with our family and friends. It's been a great year and we'll be back new year! Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season! -The PRECISE Team

Happy New Year! Precise is officially back to work for 2025 and it's going to be a great year. January is a big month for us, Precise turns 10! Follow along as we highlight some of the work we've done, our team and where we're headed in the next 10 years.
