A Norwegian hub connecting research groups, treatment centres, and medical-device companies working on FLASH radiotherapy — so people who build beams, plan treatments, and study the biology can find each other and collaborate where their strengths complement.
FLASH radiotherapy delivers a full treatment dose in a fraction of a second, at dose rates orders of magnitude above conventional beams. In preclinical work this ultra-fast delivery appears to spare healthy tissue while still controlling the tumour — the effect the field is now racing to understand and translate to patients.
Dose spread over minutes across many fractions. Healthy tissue in the beam path absorbs damage along the way.
The same physical dose delivered in under a second. The observed normal-tissue sparing is what makes FLASH worth building around.
// Delivered experimentally with electrons, protons, and photons. With particle beams the dose concentrates at the Bragg peak — deep in the target, sparing the entrance — which is the interaction you are steering in the beam above. Mechanisms remain under active investigation.
Each group holds a piece. We connect Norwegian and international actors so complementary strengths meet — and so a small alliance punches above its weight in a field moving this fast.
Research visits, shared measurement campaigns, and joint training between accelerator physicists, medical physicists, radiobiologists, and clinicians.
A dosimetry lab, a proton centre, and a device maker each bring one piece. We help them assemble the whole.
Coordinated proposals, shared protocols, and a route from preclinical evidence toward safe first-in-human FLASH delivery.
Research groups, treatment centres, companies, and individuals across radiation and particle therapy. The network is open.
Advancing neutron capture therapy in Norway — a targeted, particle-based approach with natural common ground for FLASH-era collaboration on beam biology and delivery.
