Radiopharmacy – How Does Ionizing Radiation Help in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer?

Due to the complexity and diversity of cancer, personalized therapies are becoming increasingly important in the pharmaceutical industry. This requires a thorough understanding of tumor development and biology. Imaging techniques such as PET and SPECT are used for localization and treatment planning. We will show how mechanisms and active ingredients are being researched for this purpose.

This event will take place at HTW.

Description

Due to the high complexity and variability of cancer, therapeutic strategies tailored to each patient’s specific condition are becoming increasingly important in the pharmaceutical industry. A prerequisite for developing such “personalized” therapies is a thorough understanding of the mechanisms underlying cancer development and its complex biology. Imaging techniques in particular, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), are important tools for localizing pathological tissue changes and form the basis for the application of radionuclide therapeutics. We demonstrate how the underlying mechanisms are being researched and radioactive substances developed for the targeted diagnosis and treatment of cancer at the Institute for Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf.

Using extreme laser pulses to search for the “flying horses” of quantum physics

DALI has the potential to become a globally unique, high-field radiation source based on accelerated electrons for intense terahertz radiation. Its purpose: the experimental investigation and control of materials on ultrafast timescales. In this introductory lecture, we will explain how we are using these ultrafast laser pulses to search for the “flying horses” of quantum physics.

This event will take place at HTW.

A Visual Journey Through Magnetohydrodynamics

A Clear Introduction to Magnetohydrodynamics: How do flowing liquids and gases interact with magnetic fields? In addition to technical applications, the topic addresses the question of where the Earth’s and Sun’s magnetic fields come from. At HZDR, we are conducting experimental research on this dynamo process using the large-scale research facility DRESDYN.

This event will take place at HTW.
