ORIGIN at BGCS 2022

ORIGIN researcher Dr Orla Houlihan highlighted the role for personalised brachytherapy treatment in cervical cancer at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the British Gynaecological Cancer Society in London. Dr Houlihan’s recent review emphasises the clinical need for in vivo dosimetry to monitor radiation dose and radioactive source location in real-time.

ORIGIN at ICHEP 2022

Dr Agnese Giaz from the University of Insubria recently presented the work of ORIGN at ICHEP, the cornerstone event for the scientific community involved in high energy physics. Dr Giaz described how ORIGIN will provide Real-time 3D dose imaging and source localisation in brachytherapy and gave an overview of the commissioning and first results of a 16-sensor prototype.

ORIGIN raises €1,120 for Irish Cancer Society

ORIGIN is delighted to announce that over €1000 was raised for the Irish Cancer Society in response to the VHI women’s mini marathon fundraising event.

ORIGIN researchers joined over 20,000 women on the start line in Dublin this June to raise awareness of gynaecological cancer, promote women in STEMM and raise vital funds for the Irish cancer society.

A massive thank you to everyone who donated and super well done to all who took part on the day. Special thanks to Agnese Giaz, who travelled from Italy for the race!
