Dr. Theresa Suckert is honored with this year's Christoph-Schmelzer-Award
The young researcher from the Dresden partner site of the German Consortium for Translational Cancer Research (DKTK) did her PhD thesis entitled "Normal brain tissue reaction after proton irradiation" at OncoRay. She developed clinically relevant models to study normal brain tissue damage and its precise irradiation in the experimental area of the University Proton Therapy Dresden. Her work forms the basis for further translational research in the field of proton therapy of brain tumors.
