Work by Eirik Malinen’s group recognized at the annual PTCOG conference
Eirik Malinen at Department of Radiation Biology received this year’s Michael Goitein Biology Award at the Annual Conference of the Particle Therapy Cooperative Group (PTCOG) for the work “Enhancing immunotherapy with proton- vs x-irradiation in mouse tumor models”.
The work is a collaborative effort between Malinen and the group of Nina Jeppesen Edin at the Physics Department, UiO, and Brita Sørensen at the Danish Centre for Particle Therapy in Aarhus. The proton experiments were performed in Aarhus, paving the way for follow-up activities at our new preclinical proton facility in Oslo.
The annual PTCOG conference is the largest conference in the field of particle therapy. This year in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2-7 June 2025, the conference gathered over 900 participants, including radiation oncologists, physicists and biologists. The Michael Goitein Award is given to individual scientists for the best abstract of the conference in physics, radiobiology and clinical in particle therapy.
