The exchange and networking of projects supported under the Hessian LOEWE research funding programme were the central focus of the ProLOEWE days. Among the hosts was the THM University of Applied Sciences, which provided insights into its ADMIT (Advanced Medical Physics in Imaging and Therapy) project. The project participants aim to combine new imaging and computer-aided methods with advanced ...

What an inspiring and motivated group at our first ADMIT Interdisciplinary Summer School of Medical Physics, held from August 19 to 22 at Rauischholzhausen Castle!  The course brought together around 30 early-career researchers in the field of MedicalPhysics. The goal was to offer comprehensive insights into the various fields, as well as networking opportunities and interdisciplinary ...

Looking back on the 12th Alpe Adria Medical Physics Meeting & EFOMP School on New Technologies in Radiotherapy at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP). Two of our doctoral students, Lilian Abou Assali and Michèle-Louise Regner, had the opportunity to present their research within ADMIT Subproject I on „Spectral Computed Tomography and Low-Dose Image ...

Our doctoral students and Principal Investigator Kilian Baumann from ADMIT subproject D took part in ESTRO2025 in Vienna from 2 to 6 May. The conference offered a wide range of insights into current developments in radiationoncology. Particularly exciting were contributions on biological modelling and particletherapy - both topics that are of central importance for research in ...

From 24 to 27 February 2025, doctoral students from ADMIT Subproject A participated in the annual meeting of EURADOS (European Radiation Dosimetry Group) in Bucharest, Romania. EURADOS focuses on scientific and technical research and development in the field of ionising radiation and is organised into several working groups (WGs) specialising in various areas of dosimetry. For these doctoral students, the most relevant groups were WG9 (Radiation Dosimetry in Radiotherapy) and WG6 (Computational Dosimetry).

From 4 to 6 December 2024, our PhD students from subproject A and D took part in the FLASH Radiotherapy & Particle Therapy - FRPT Conference 2024 in Rome, Italy. In its 4th edition, FRPT 2024 focussed on the diverse range of topics related to FLASH therapy. This novel treatment method irradiates tumours with photons or particles using ultra-high dose rates. This not only significantly shortens the treatment time, but also protects healthy tissue to a greater extent compared to conventional radiotherapy or particle therapy.

From 12 to 13 December 2024, the members of the LOEWE Research Cluster ADMIT, in which the three Central Hessian universities of the FCMH (Justus Liebig University Giessen, Philipps University Marburg, University of Applied Sciences) have been working together since the beginning of the year, met for their first joint Retreat at the Martin-Niemöller-House in Schmitten.The focus was on an ...

Cancer and neurodegenerative diseases are among the greatest health and social challenges of today. Under the leadership of the THM the three universities in Central Hesse have been working together on innovative medical physics approaches in the LOEWE Research Cluster ADMIT (Advanced Medical Physics in Imaging and Therapy) since the beginning of the year in order to meet these challenges. At the opening symposium of the research network at Rauischholzhausen Castle, Hesse's Science Minister Timon Gremmels spoke of a “unique opportunity to improve the lives of many people”.

“Brainmapping Technology”: This is the name of the LOEWE Transfer Professorship, with which the state of Hesse is supporting the utilization of Prof. Dr. Boris Keil`s research. The expert in MRI imaging procedures from the Life Science Engineering Department at THM is working on the further development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for high-precision imaging of the human brain and nervous system.

The Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen - University of Applied Science (THM) receives a grant of 4.8 million euros to create the LOEWE Rsearch Cluster ADMIT. Together with the partners Philipps University Marburg and Justus Liebig University Gießen (JLU) as well as other research institutions and companies from Germany and the USA, new imaging methods for the diagnosis and therapy of tumor diseases are to be developed and applied.
