Supplying the Fight Against Cancer Using Particle Accelerators at Nusano

October 18, 2023 @ 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM

2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference team presents THE RED DWARF STAR VIRTUAL SERIES Supplying the Fight Against Cancer Using Particle Accelerators at Nusano Leo Szeto Red Dwarf stars are the smallest and emerging in the universe. The Red Dwarf events represent the formation and growth of our IEEE Rising Stars Conference. The 2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference team will be hosting a series of monthly events to show you a glimpse of what we are preparing for the conference. We’ll be sharing some professional development and technical content throughout this series, as well as some of the networking experience. Join us on a series of informative and engaging events as we prepare for our large stage at the 2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference, January 5-7, in Las Vegas at the Tropicana Hotel. The 2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference registration is now open! We have an excellent line-up of speakers, sessions, workshops, and a couple surprises. Register now and take advantage of our Super Saver registration discount. Discount expires on November 12th.

Doctors use tiny tracers like flashlights to light up areas inside the body, helping them target and treat disease. But today, the supply doesn’t meet the need. Logistical problems with radioisotope production are causing hundreds of thousands of patients in the US from getting the treatments they need to survive. Nusano aims to change the future of the industry by developing a system that will mass-produce radioisotopes at scale, using a breakthrough ion source technology combined with a particle accelerator, turning radioisotopes from scarcity to abundance.
