Congratulations to Dr Chandrima Sengupta and Dr Nick Hindley, who led the successful Ideas Grant bids in collaboration with national and international research partners.
Funded Projects
Tracking the beating heart: Enabling safe and effective radiotherapy for cardiac arrhythmia
Chief Investigator: Dr Chandrima Sengupta
Awarded: $1.26M
This project will develop technology to enable accurate, real-time tracking of the beating heart during radiotherapy, allowing clinicians to treat cardiac arrhythmias safely and precisely. The research aims to improve treatment outcomes while reducing risk to surrounding healthy tissue. Dr Sengupta is joined on the grant by Dr Nick Hindley and collaborators across Australia and internationally.
Less toxicity, fewer hospital visits and improved clinician confidence: The future of liver cancer treatment with motion-adaptive radiation therapy
Chief Investigator: Dr Nick Hindley
Awarded: $660,000
This project will advance motion-adaptive radiotherapy for liver cancer, aiming to reduce treatment toxicity, minimise hospital visits, and support clinician decision-making. By adapting radiation treatment to account for tumour movement in real time, the team seeks to deliver safer, more effective care. Dr Hindley’s collaborators include Dr Chandrima Sengupta, along with former Image X colleagues Dr Chun-Chien Shieh and Professor Magdalena Bazalova-Carter, and partnering institutions
