Biography:

Prof. Anne-Catherine Heuskin is a physicist with expertise in the field of radiobiology and nanotechnology. Together with Prof. Stephane Lucas and Prof. Carinne Michiels, she set up an experienced interdisciplinary radiobiology team, composed of physicists and biologists. Ultimately, their research activities seek to optimize cancer radiation therapy, in particular using high-LET particles such as protons or alpha particles. Current projects focus on FLASH therapy, macrophages reprogramming, mitochondrial dynamics, intrinsic or induced radioresistance and lipid-ROS.
