Research group(s)
- Medical Radiation Research
Head: Dietmar Georg
Research Area: The vision of our group is the optimization of the treatment outcome of radiation oncology, alone or in combination with established chemotherapy or novel targeted strategies of drug treatment, with conventional photon or innovative ion-beams.
Members: - AI Research in Automated Radiation Oncology
Head: Gerd Heilemann
Research Area: We merge medical physics, data science, and artificial intelligence to advance radiation oncology. Our primary focus is the development of AI-based treatment planning models aimed at enhancing radiation therapy. Through interdisciplinary research and innovative computational methods, we strive to improve patient outcomes and contribute to the future of cancer treatment.
