We are recruting!
We are looking for a possible research fellow to be involved in the project “A technical framework for combining multi-parametric imaging with advanced modelling in personalized radiotherapy” funded by Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca contro il Cancro (AIRC). The project aims at integrating patient-specific multi-parametric imaging and advanced mathematical models revealing macroscopic, microscopic and radiobiological information, to provide the empowerment of treatment outcome prediction, patients’ stratification and subsequent treatment optimization and personalization in external beam radiotherapy. If you are interested, please contact Prof. Guido Baroni (guido.baroni@polimi.it).
