Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description Means to efficiently calculate radiation effects of large numbers of nanoparticles acting together in clinically-relevant clusters have been developped.

Connections between FEM and Monte Carlo methods establsihed.
Exploitation Route To rationally plan better treatment of cancer using radiation in conjunction with nanoparticles.
