Prof. Philippe Lambin is a clinician, Radiation Oncologist, pioneer in translational research with a focus on hypoxia, imaging and Decision Support Systems. He has a PhD in Radiation Biology and is professor at the University of Maastricht (Radiation Oncology). He is co-author of more than 355 peer reviewed scientific papers and co-inventor of more than 15 patents. His main areas of interest are directed towards translational research in Radiation Biology with a specific focus on tumour hypoxia, functional imaging (CT-PET), lung and head and neck cancer. He has a recent interest in the development of multifactorial ‘treatment decision support system’ (www.predictcancer.org). He has been a visiting professor at the University of Leuven, Philadelphia and Toronto.
MAASTRO Clinic offers state-of-the-art radiotherapy to more than 4200 cancer patients each year from the Limburg area in the Netherlands. Approximately 25% of the patients are included in clinical trials (European mean: 3%). These trials are managed by a certified, GCP compliant data centre which has experience with the regulatory affairs of clinical trials. In the proposed project prof. Lambin can contribute the experience and tools from past and ongoing projects to realize the vision set out by the principal investigator. We will contribute our experience and code base of Semantic web and data warehouse technology to extract patient data from clinical sources and put these in context.
