Neutron Research To Help In Treatment Of Cancer Patients

alignancy deeper than 1 inch below the skin.

If neutron therapy experiments on cancer patients at Harvard and MIT are successful, Grimes says, hospitals may start purchasing accelerators similar to the one at Ohio University to begin treating patients. "We could play a large role in the development of this kind of cancer therapy," he says.

The research is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. Grimes has published numerous papers on neutron research, including the article in Nuclear Science and Engineering, which was co-authored by John Anderson and Victor Madsen of the University of California Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Grimes holds an appointment in the College of Arts and Sciences.
