CERN accelerates medical applications
Five-year extensions to CERN’s CLEAR and MEDICIS platforms will boost the impact of cutting-edge accelerator technologies in areas ranging from advanced medical treatments to aerospace electronics
CERN’s CLEAR facility investigates novel medical applications of electron beams and the resilience of electronics in space. A short walk away on the CERN site, MEDICIS is developing ways to produce a new generation of radioisotopes with potential applications in precision medicine and theragnostics. The five-year extensions to these unique and versatile platforms approved earlier this year by the CERN Council will enhance and expand the beneficial impact of CERN’s accelerator technology on society.
