Join us for the Gate 10 training, 

... an exciting hands-on event taking place on April 1 & 2  2024, in Osaka, Japan. This unique gathering is your chance to delve into the new Python-based version of the Monte Carlo software GATE, built upon the powerful Geant4 framework. 

This event is co-organized and supported by the Center for International Academic Programs at the Division of Health Science, Osaka University.

The objective of the tutorial is to understand the features of the platform dedicated to the development of detection systems (PET, SPECT, CT and X-rays) and detector response, the management of medical images, the development of clinical and preclinical beams in radiation therapy and dose calculation for different radiation therapy treatments (internal or external)

The training will be a combination of lectures on various topics and hands-on exercises using GATE. Participants will run the exercises on their own computers so they can continue using GATE after the school.

After successfully attending the school, including the exercises, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.

You should bring along basic computer science and programming knowledge, and ideally some experience in Python, but if you are an expert-programmer that's even better. 

Don't miss out on this unique chance to expand your horizons in next generation Monte Carlo radiation transport simulation, learn from and with experts, and contribute to the future of Gate 10. Register before February 15, 2024, and be a part of this exciting journey.

Lecturers information:

LYDIA MAIGNE is associate professor at University Clermont Auvergne (UCA, http://see.lpc.uca.fr) since 2007. She is a team leader in modeling and simulations in medical and particle physics at Health, Environment and Energy Department of the Physics Laboratory of Clermont (CNRS-IN2P3). She obtained a PhD in particle physics in 2005, she has been qualified as medical physicist in 2007. She has been elected as the new spokesperson of the collaboration in 2018. Through GATE, she seeks improving dosimetry simulations associated to innovative radiopharmaceuticals in internal radiation therapy. She leaded the developments of programs to tackle cell and DNA damage combining GATE and Geant4-DNA studies. Since 2017, she focused on the deployment and validation of biophysical models into the GATE platform for the simulation of the biological dose in ion beam therapy. More recently, she has been involved in FLASH therapy; investigating the simulation of water radiolysis for very high dose rate beams, especially proton beams available at ARRONAX. 

ALEXIS PEREDA is a research engineer at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) since 2022, computer scientist in the Health, Environment and Energy Department of the Physics Laboratory of Clermont (CNRS-IN2P3).
In 2021, he earned his Ph.D. in computer science by working on high performance computing and parallelisation using and developping C++ template metaprogramming techniques.
He currently mainly works on the GATE project to implement new features and improve existing ones
