The Centre for the Clinical Application of Particles is an interdisciplinary collaboration of staff from the Faculty of Medicine, the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Academic Health Science Centre, the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ College NHS Healthcare Trust, the Department of Physics, the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ CRUK Cancer Centre, the Institute of Cancer Research, the John Adams Institute and the Oxford Institute for Radiation Oncology with the mandate to:

"Develop the technologies, systems, techniques and capabilities necessary to deliver a paradigm shift in the clinical exploitation of particles."

The principal objectives of the CCAP are to:

  • Deliver a broad programme of measurement of the radiobiological effect of particle beams and systematic studies of radiobiological mechanisms;
  • Develop novel, compact, laser-driven accelerator systems for clinical applications; and
  • Develop novel diagnostic, imaging, data-processing, and machine-learning techniques.
