Centre for Medical Radiation Physics (CMRP)

The multi-disciplinary CMRP Targeted Nano Therapies (TNT) theme focuses on elaborating multimodal cancer therapies by combining the effects of targeted radiation and temperature, drugs or nanoparticles.  The Centre for Medical Radiation Physics is a research team within the School of Physics, University of Wollongong. We are dedicated towards the development of semiconductor detectors and dosimeters for clinical applications in radiation protection, radiation oncology and nuclear medicine as well as high energy physics applications.
