🎓 What’s Next: Noah will begin graduate studies this fall at the University of Western Ontario under Dr. Sarah Mattonen.

We aim to perform dosimetric comparisons in focal boosting of DILs using HDR brachytherapy and stereotactic ablative body radiation with simultaneous in-filed boosts (SABR-SIB)."

🧪 Research: "The objective of my project is to investigate the use of HDR brachytherapy for focal boosting of prostate cancer, taking advantage of the steep dose gradient produced by HDR brachytherapy to achieve high dose delivery to DILs while sparing OAR toxicity.

📢 CUMPC Student Spotlight: Noah Blackburn-Hum📢 We're excited to highlight Noah Blackburn-Hum from the University of Waterloo, who earned 1st place for Best Abstract and tied 1st for Best Presentation at last year's Canadian Undergraduate Medical Physics Conference!
