LhARA radiobiology; meeting: 16Jan25; 14:00 GMT

Actions

We discussed:

• Preparations at SCAPA: stalled due to resources not yet transferred from STFC:
  • Action KL/CW: Seek to expedite securing the resources necessary to initiate purchases;
• Preparations of glass-ring/mylar cell dishes:
  • Excellent progress in Brm; HeLa, FaDu and another cell line grown on mylar successfully;
  • Imaging of cells on mylar hampered by puckering of mylar. Technique using cover slip to "weigh down" the mylar before it is removed from the ring trialled successfully.
  • Action JPar, EM, DA, and KL: to meet to discuss DA's engagement.
• Possibility to trial beam-line on Brm cyclotron discussed:
  • Agreement that there is merit in proposal. Issue is the timeline and availability of personnel.
  • Action CW, KL, RG, TP: to meet to take a hard-nosed look at whether such a test can be made.
  • Additional action: KL/CD to begin work to bring experience of alignment issues at LMU into consideration.
