Making nanoparticles visible for cancer therapy: Empa Young Scientist Fellow Lukas Gerken cools an electron microscope with liquid nitrogen. Image: Empa - Lukas Gerken has been awarded an Empa Young Scientist Fellowship for his research project to make radiation therapy for cancer patients more effective and at the same time gentler. The young Empa researcher is being supported by the Ria & Arthur Dietschweiler Foundation. Empa researcher Lukas Gerken from Empa's Particles-Biology Interactions laboratory in St. Gallen and the Nanoparticle Systems Engineering laboratory at ETH Zurich is already using specially developed metal oxide nanoparticles in laboratory experiments to increase the sensitivity of tumors during radiation therapy. Now the young talent wants to equip the nanoparticles with further properties for increased effectiveness. He is being supported in this endeavor through an Empa Young Scientist Fellowship funded by the Ria & Arthur Dietschweiler Foundation. Confident young researcher.
