2019 Review & Showcase

We extend a warm invitation to health professionals, researchers, higher degree students, and our collaborators with an interest in medical physics and the future of radiation therapy and cancer imaging. Throughout the day our researchers will cover the latest work from each of our key research themes: cancer imaging, novel radiation therapy systems and cancer targeting technology.

We’re extremely fortunate to have three distinguished keynote speakers across the day:

  • Professor Jeff Williamson
  • Associate Professor Shankar Siva
  • Associate Professor Lois Holloway
