PhD Position (all genders) – Optimization of laser-driven particle sources for the generation of medical radioisotopes . In part-time (65%) . Reference number: 26.155-1700. Project Context (EUROPA) . EUROPA (for lasEr-driven Universal Radio-isOtope Production Accelerator) is a European initiative aiming to transform how medical radioisotopes are produced for cancer research and treatment. Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) is one of the most promising approaches in nuclear medicine, relying on artificial radioactive isotopes (ARIs) to precisely identify and destroy cancer cells. However, access to these innovative isotopes is limited: They are expensive and difficult to supply be
