Overview
1. Enabling collaborative research
Fundamental radiobiological research:
Comprehensive spectrum of electron, proton or ion beams with varying beam qualities as well as various additional possibilities (e.g. in-flight selection of isotopes).
Radiobiological Research: Generation of particle or cosmic radiation (e.g. Galactic Cosmic Radiation, Solar Particle Events) enables comprehensive, cost-effective studies of radiation effects on biological systems, from cell cultures and organoids to animal models.
2. Enhance Therapy Methods
Enhanced Radiation Therapy: Reduction of radiation dose through sensor technology for in-situ, in vivo monitoring as well as optimized radiation delivery using raster scan method.
New therapy methods: Analysis of innovative ultra-short radiation applications such as Very High-Energy Electron (VHEE) or Flash Radiotherapy.
3. Treatment of Tumor Patients
Treatment of Eye Tumors: Since 1998, more than 4,600 patients have been treated at HZB in cooperation with Charité Berlin. In most cases, this not only preserved the eye but also maintained satisfactory vision.
