SUMMARY:Masterclass IV: The Challenges of Proton Therapy in Cancer Treatment - Research and Clinical Perspectives (Medical Physics)
DESCRIPTION:Masterclasses remain a central part of UT Austin Portugal’s 2020 Annual Conference agenda. These thematic and highly-specialized sessions feature renowned experts in their fields. \n  \nDescription of Masterclass IV \nProton therapy is the most advanced form of radiation treatment that uses protons instead of X-rays\, allowing a more tailored\, patient-centered approach to cancer treatment. This innovative form of treatment calls for leading experts across all disciplines\, from upstream to downstream sectors\, working in close collaboration. Bridging the research with the clinical setting is fundamental to translate important research discovery into advanced science-based treatments and clinical care\, and to feed the clinical outcomes of proton therapy into further research. However\, this translation entails important challenges to be addressed by both sides in order to fully exploit the benefits of this therapy. \nThe Masterclass brings together a panel of notable speakers from the research and clinical fields in Portugal and in Texas for a comprehensive analysis of the challenges of proton therapy in the era of precision medicine. \n  \nRegistration\nRegistration is now closed. \n  \n \nSpeakers\n\nJoão Seco\, Professor and Department Head of Biomedical Physics in Radiation Oncology at DKFZ (German Cancer Research Center)\, Germany\nRadhe Mohan\, Professor and Medical Physicist at MD Anderson Cancer Center\, USA\nTiago Madaleno\, Medical Physicist at IPO Lisboa\, Portugal\nCátia Pedro\, Radiation Oncologist at IPO Lisboa\, Portugal\n\n  \nScientific Coordination\n\nJoão Oliveira\, President of the Board of Directors of IPO Lisboa\, Portugal\nJosé Marques\, Vice-President of Tecnológico e Nuclear Campus at Técnico Lisboa\, Portugal\n\n  \nProgram\nOctober 8\, 2020\n2 p.m. (Lisbon time) | 8 a.m. (Austin time)\nWelcome Message by José Marques\, Program’s Area Director of Medical Physics in Portugal \n2.10 p.m. | 8.10 a.m “Physics Challenges of Proton Therapy” by João Seco + Moderated Q&A \n2.50 p.m. | 8.50 a.m “Medical Challenges and Opportunities of Proton Therapy”\nby Radhe Mohan + Moderated Q&A \n3.30 p.m. | 9.30 a.m Short Break \n3.45 p.m. | 9.45 a.m “Understanding Uncertainties in Proton Therapy”\nby Tiago Madaleno + Moderated Q&A \n4.25 p.m. | 10.25 a.m  “FLASH Proton Therapy” by Cátia Pedro + Moderated Q&A \n5.05 p.m. | 11.05 a.m Session Wrap-up by José Marques\, Program’s Area Director of Medical Physics in Portugal \n  \nTarget Audience\nMedical professionals\, radiotherapy technologists\, biomedical engineers\, physicists\, researchers and students from all involved disciplines\, interested in taking part in a wider discussion about the scientific and clinical directions of proton therapy. \n  \nRequirements \nParticipants must secure Wi-Fi connection. \n  \nVisit the pages below for detailed information on other Masterclasses: \nMasterclass I: Innovation in Biomimetic Materials (Nanotechnologies) \nMasterclass II: Platforms for global monitoring – Emerging capabilities and challenges (Space-Earth Interactions)\nMasterclass III: Emerging HPC Technologies (Advanced Computing) \n  \nFor additional information\, please contact events@utaustinportugal.org.
