Projects
Eight research teams spanning from basic computer and engineering research to clinical research in the fields of imaging and image-guided radiotherapy will cooperate in this interdisciplinary and multi-professional framework, each promoting one young scientist (PhD). The consortium members are linked not only to the University Hospital and Medical Faculty of the UZH, but are also affiliated with the Science Faculty (MNF) of the UZH as well as with the ETHZ. The proposed translational research project integrates disciplines from basic science, biomedical engineering and clinical research.
