Issues addressed and main goals of research:
Mdico-biological and clinical research for the proton radiotherapy of cancer patients. Formation of an experimental data base in the field of radiation mutagenesis in the animal germ cells.

Expected results in the current year:
  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of the conducted radiation treatment of different neoplasms.

  • Work to increase the functional capability of the developed 3D treatment planning software.

  • Design and construction of the prototype equipment for the dynamic conformal irradiation of deep-seated tumours with the proton beam.

  • Development and improvement of detectors and tools for the clinical dosimetry of the medical hadron beams.

  • Continuation of research to determine forms of fibroblast cell death depending on the dose of ionizing radiation.

  • Study of mechanisms of functional and neurochemical disorders in the central nervous system under the action of radiation with different linear energy transfer.

  • Mastering of new methodes for evaluation of the effectiveness of the cytotoxic action of nanoparticles on tumour cells.

  • Continuation of the molecular analysis of gamma- and neutron-induced intragenic structural changes in germline cells.

  • Continuation of the sequence analysis of inherited DAN changes at the genome level of the offspring.

  • Continuation of the work on the analysis of the transcriptome in somatic cells differing in radiosensitivity.

  • Assessment of radioresistance of D.melanogaster strains and human cell line HEK293 expressing DSUP protein (gamma rays, protons, heavy ions).

  • Transcriptome analysis of D.melanogaster strains and human cell line HEK293 expressing Dsup protein.

  • Study of distribution GEP-Dsup fusion protein on D.melanogater polytene chromosomes.

  • Develop a project of specialized isochronous cyclotron for proton therapy.

  • Measure the magnetic field of the MC1 bending magnet for the transport line of the AIC-144, Krakow, Poland.
