Cancer is a major societal challenge, where the combination of novel imaging and computational techniques with advanced therapeutic strategies is key to early diagnosis, exact tumour characterization and successful treatment. The goal of the proposed Research Training Group (GRK2274) is to promote young scientists from natural sciences and medicine in this rapidly growing field of medical physics. GRK2274 covers basic, translational and clinical research, building upon a long tradition of excellence in biomedical research in Munich from the two universities (LMU, TUM) and the Helmholtz center (HMGU). The multi- and interdisciplinary research programme will touch upon innovative areas of computing, imaging and therapy, addressed in synergistic Ph.D. and M.D. projects with the common goal to advance image- guided cancer therapy. The original qualification concept will feature a broad spectrum of compulsory and eligible training activities, to ensure not only academic excellence and scientific independence, but also the development of fundamental personal effectiveness. For each doctoral candidate, an individual advisory committee of physicists, physicians and, if applicable, industrial representatives will be instated. The members of GRK2274 will be given ample opportunities for interdisciplinary and international networking, including the visit of distinguished international scientists and research stays abroad. Training of physicists in medical oncology and participation in clinical tumor boards are examples of the innovative approaches to provide multidisciplinary knowledge and clinical perspectives. The proposed network will 4Proposal GRK2274 - Advanced Medical Physics for Image-Guided Cancer Therapy benefit from vast resources in terms of interinstitutional and interdisciplinary connections, state-of-the-art experimental and clinical infrastructures, established graduate schools and a Cluster of Excellence. GRK2274 m\\ thus provide the ideal platform to develop an internationally recognized research and training programme in medical physics in Germany, promoting innovations in oncology with a potentially high societal impact, and to form the next generation of scientists with excellent career prospects in academia, clinic and industry.

癌症是一个重大的社会挑战，其中新型成像和计算技术与先进的治疗策略相结合是早期诊断，准确的肿瘤表征和成功治疗的关键。拟议的研究培训小组（GRK 2274）的目标是促进来自自然科学和医学的年轻科学家在这个快速发展的医学物理学领域。GRK 2274涵盖基础，转化和临床研究，建立在两所大学（LMU，TUM）和亥姆霍兹中心（HMGU）在慕尼黑生物医学研究的悠久传统之上。多学科和跨学科的研究计划将涉及计算，成像和治疗的创新领域，在协同博士学位。和医学博士。这些项目的共同目标是推进图像引导的癌症治疗。最初的资格概念将以广泛的强制性和合格的培训活动为特色，不仅要确保学术卓越和科学独立，而且要发展基本的个人效能。对于每一位博士候选人，将设立一个由物理学家、医生和工业代表（如果适用）组成的咨询委员会。GRK 2274的成员将有充分的机会进行跨学科和国际网络交流，包括杰出的国际科学家的访问和在国外的研究。物理学家在医学肿瘤学的培训和参与临床肿瘤委员会的创新方法，以提供多学科知识和临床观点的例子。拟议的网络将4提案GRK 2274-先进的医学物理学图像引导癌症治疗受益于大量的资源，在机构间和跨学科的连接，国家的最先进的实验和临床基础设施，建立研究生院和卓越的集群。因此，GRK 2274 m\\为在德国开展国际公认的医学物理学研究和培训计划提供了理想的平台，促进了具有潜在高社会影响力的肿瘤学创新，并培养了在学术界、临床和工业界具有良好职业前景的下一代科学家。
