Spotlight On NuCapCure: Behind the Breakthroughs

Research begins with people — and this series is about them.

In this spotlight series, we introduce the scientists and researchers driving the NuCapCure project forward. Working across disciplines — photobiology, radiation biology, proton and neutron physics, reactor physics, synthetic and medicinal chemistry and nuclear and accelerator physics — these researchers are developing new ways to target the world’s most common and deadliest brain tumour with no curative treatment, Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), based on protons and neutrons. Here, they share what inspires them, the questions they are tackling and the science that keeps them curious.

Whether you are a fellow researcher, a potential partner or simply passionate about science, this is your chance to meet the people behind the breakthroughs.

“What motivates me is the need to provide a solution to a problem which does not have one yet, and at the same time provide hope to many people, but also hope to myself that we can make their hopes and expectations come true.”
