Descrizione
The Tuscany Health Ecosystem is fostering a coordinated innovation pipeline in radiotherapy, spanning fundamental research to high–technology readiness level (TRL) deployment. Core activities include advanced radiation source development including disruptive laser-driven sources, tailored for precision and ultra-high dose rate applications, dedicated studies on FLASH effect to elucidate radiobiological mechanisms, optimized dosimetry, and translation studies into clinically viable solutions.
Preclinical research programs integrate physics, biology, and medical sciences to validate novel treatment paradigms and accelerate translational pathways. Complementing these efforts, the development of innovative radiopharmaceuticals expands the therapeutic landscape toward targeted and combined modality approaches. To ensure rapid impact, cascade calls involving clinical, industrial and complementary research capabilities are supporting high-TRL technology maturation, clinical validation, and industrial uptake.
An overview of the project will be given with attention on the ongoing effort towards an integrated strategy to further strengthen the scope, by the promotion of newly established spin-offs and public–private partnerships, cooperation with similar international initiatives in the European research landscape, promoting Tuscany as a competitive hub for radiotherapy innovation at the European and global level.
