Boosting Safety In Proton Therapy For Kids

A new health technology startup emerging from the 1819 Innovation Hub at the University of Cincinnati is tackling one of the most persistent challenges in proton radiotherapy: range uncertainty.

Range Assure was co-founded by four UC professors: Jimmy Stringer, PhD, founder/CTO, inventor, medical physics researcher; Henry Spitz, PhD, professor, scientific advisor, radiation measurement expert; UC alumni Peter Sandwall, PhD co-founder/CEO, medical physicist, entrepreneur, global health imaging leader; and UC professor emeritus, Michael Lamba, PhD, medical physicist, radiation oncology.
