Erlangen radiation biology shines at the Degro Congress in Dresden!

Erlangen, Deutschland - The translational radiation biology of the Erlangen radiation clinic at this year's annual congress of the German Society for Radio -oncology e. V. (Degro) in Dresden, which took place from June 19 to 21, 2025. The Erlangen delegation was awarded its extensive participation and diverse contributions at the event. Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Udo Gaipl, who emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation, presented the members of the radiation clinic not only a refresher lecture, but also 11 scientific lectures and 10 posters. In addition, you have functions as chairwoman for 10 moderations, which demonstrates the versatility and the high competence of the group.

It becomes clear that the translational approaches in radiation research are very popular. The active cooperation in various working groups, including the AG experimental radiooncology and the AG Junge Degro, shows the engagement of the Erlangen scientists for further development of multimodal therapy approaches. These require close cooperation between different professional groups to achieve the best results for patients: inside. A special focus was also on the acquisition of competence in radiation research to promote new therapy concepts.

public relations and modern approaches

In order to better communicate the translational research projects and career opportunities, the Erlangen radiation clinic has taken new ways in public relations. A new LinkedIn profile has started to give insights into current research projects and events. In addition, an Instagram channel was launched, which is supervised by medical doctoral students. As a result, more interested parties are to be obtained for radiation research and the two visibility and understanding of this complex matter are to be increased.

As part of the congress, numerous presentations also took place that illuminated the committed work in radioon cology. For example, the presentation by Daniel Blasko from Erlangen was presented for exploratory needs analysis for an app to support grieving and palliative teenagers. Such innovative approaches are essential to find new ways to improve the quality of life of cancer patients, as well as the presentation of Pascal Bickenbach, which dealt with the quality of life after completion of radiation therapy.

collaboration of the specialist societies

The German Society for Biological Radiation Research (DEGBS) sustainably supports the development in this area. It is committed to promoting scientific research on ionizing and non -ionizing rays and is a platform for the exchange between experts from biology, chemistry, medicine and physics. A central concern of this society is to promote the training and further education of young scientists. Here, prices and scholarships are also awarded to appreciate and support the work of the researchers.

It remains exciting how developments in radiation research will continue to develop and how the committed scientists and specialist societies assert their influence in order to promote progress in radiooncology.
