Research

Cancer and neurodegenerative diseases are a major social challenge. The World Health Organization predicts a steady increase in these diseases, which threaten to become the most common causes of mortality in industrialized countries. Imaging procedures are already used for most diagnostic purposes. About every second cancer patient is treated with radiotherapy during the course of the disease. For this reason, there is a pressing need for research and development in the fields of diagnostics and therapy in order to conduct fundamental research for new applications and to quickly translate new scientific solutions into clinical applications for the benefit of patients.

The LOEWE Research Cluster ADMIT therefore aims to combine new imaging and computer-aided procedures with advanced therapeutic strategies in order to enable an early diagnosis and successful treatment of various forms of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The core idea of ADMIT is that the development of new medical-physical methods can improve image-guided therapy and provide new insights. Primarily in the fields of radiology, oncology and neurology, the synergetic areas of data processing, imaging and therapy are to be integrated and implemented in innovative, scientifically viable approaches.

ADMIT combines the interdisciplinary and complementary expertise of various researchers from the University of Applied Sciences (THM), Philipps University Marburg (UMR) and Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU). The research group is complemented by clinical and corporate partners as well as by long-standing THM cooperation partners from Harvard University, Yale University, and the University of Pennsylvania.

ADMIT in Rome

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.

Successful end of our first ADMIT-Retreat

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 ...
