The Smart Technologies to Extend Lives with Linear Accelerators (STELLA) project aims to turn technology developed for particle physics into a novel radiotherapy system suited to the challenging environments of low- and middle-income countries

CERN’s new digital report showcases concrete applications of CERN technologies and know-how, with diverse examples in the healthcare, environment, aerospace, digital and quantum fields.

Scientists are testing a new device to help target cancer cells more accurately in ion radiotherapy of head and neck tumours, which could help limit the treatment’s side effects. It includes Timepix3, a small particle detector developed at CERN

A novel mathematical model developed as part of the BioDynaMo project, born from CERN openlab, mimics vascular tumour growth in breast cancer and its response to treatment
