- Radiotherapy & Side Effects
| SHIRIN ENGER RESEARCH GROUP (ENGER LAB) | |
|---|---|
 |
Engerlab research focuses on personalized radiotherapy treatments, improving outcomes through radiation dosimetry and delivery, and predicting treatment response using AI. |
| JOHN KILDEA RESEARCH GROUP (KILDEA LAB) | |
|---|---|
 |
The Kildea Lab at 污污草莓视频 University Health Centre studies cancer and radiation, developing software for a future learning healthcare system. The lab鈥檚 research focuses on neutron-induced carcinogenic effects, radiation oncology knowledge sharing, and the Opal patient portal. |
| IVES LEVESQUE RESEARCH GROUP | |
|---|---|
 |
The MR Methods Research Group develops techniques for in vivo MRI, focusing on quantitative mapping and non-invasive imaging markers for diagnostic imaging and patient follow-up. They also work with clinical medical physics to integrate MRI into radiation therapy, optimizing protocols and evaluating images. |
| NORMA YBARRA RESEARCH GROUP | |
|---|---|
 |
Current cancer therapies extend survival but often fail to eliminate cancer cells, leading to recurrence and side effects. The research program aims to improve disease-free survival and decrease side effects of cancer therapies. |
| TANNER CONNELL RESEARCH | |
|---|---|
 |
Generating high dose rates using laser-based sources.
