Modelling combined chemotherapy and particle therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the only cancer for which deaths are predicted to increase in 2014 and beyond. Combined radiochemotherapy protocols using gemcitabine and hypofractionated X-rays are ongoing in several clinical trials.

Imaging of redox-imbalance and oxidative stress in kidney in vivo, induced by dietary cholesterol
We used a mitochondria-penetrating nitroxide, mito-TEMPO, as a contrast probe for imaging of kidney dysfunction in mice, based on the redox-imbalance and oxidative stress in the renal tissues. Kidney dysfunction was triggered by hypercholesterolemia. The
