Multiscale Irradiation and Chemistry Driven Processes and Related Technologies (MultIChem)

 

Project no.: CA20129

Project description:

The Action MultIChem aims to establish a broad international interdisciplinary intersectoral cooperation aiming to advance our fundamental understanding of the multiscale irradiation-driven processes and related technologies paving the path towards major scientific and technological breakthroughs, and socio-economic impacts. These goals require a pan-European approach and COST is the most appropriate instrument for their realization.

Project funding:

COST actions


Project results:

1. Offering novel experimental approaches and computational
tools for modeling IDC to the clinical community and industrial companies in the field of nanostructure nanofabrication and characterization.
2. Development of prototypes of novel treatment planning systems for ion-beam cancer therapy that will combine a molecular-level understanding of IDC and subsequent molecular damage and related phenomena (relative biological effectiveness, DNA damage response, etc.) with existing macroscale dose delivery protocols.
3. Development of new technological protocols enabling better control and characterization of fabricated nanostructures, NPs, and composite materials with enhanced catalytic and radiosensitizing properties.
