Drugs can barely penetrate GBMs. We built a nanomotor that crosses the BBB, senses the tumor, and swims toward it, powered by hydrogen peroxide, which GBM produces in excess.
3x deeper penetration. 4.3x more potent.
Out now in @MacroBioscience

Our new @IJROBP paper: proton RBE in lung exceeds the planning assumption of 1.1.
Prospective breast cancer patients with serial CT at 6 and 12 months. Voxel-wise density change at matched physical dose. Measured RBE 1.24–1.35.

Happy to share that OncoRAG is out at @Nature_NPJ Digital Medicine❗️
Pulling variables from clinical notes usually means manual chart abstraction or shipping notes to a cloud LLMs. Using graph retrieval, OncoRAG enabled local models to match LLM accuracy

Happy to introduce *RN-D3*: an AI pipeline for detection, differentiation, and delineation of radiation necrosis on 🧠 MRI. Out today in @FrontiersIn AI.
All credit to @pgsalome3, who drove this, and to all co-authors
Paper: doi.org/10.3389/frai.2026.18…
Code: github.com/chamseddine-lab/r…
2nd Physics Research Retreat at in @MGBResearchNews Rad Onc. A lot of exciting work across the division. From our group: mechanistic modeling of 🧠 necrosis @nicogno_ , LLM-based future extraction @pgsalome3, and causal ML to identify drivers of proton therapy. Papers soon❗️
Welcome Yejin and Francois!
The @HarvardMedPhys Residency Program is excited to welcome:
-Dr. Yejin Kim, postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington
-Dr. François de Kermenguy, postdoctoral scholar at Harvard Medical School and BWH/DFCI
Congratulations!

Re: use of LLMs for scientific writing
Science is still partially reputation-driven, and anything with your name on it will be tied to you for the remainder of your career. Discernment and responsible use are required!

This week in MathOnco 360:
Clonal hematopoiesis, predictive modeling, agent-based models, adaptive therapy

📢The February issue of the #RedJournal is out and it has soooo much great #radbio in it🔥🔥🔥
Where to begin❓
Highly timely review: Radiation-Induced Lymphopenia: From Mathematical Modeling Toward Mechanistic Learning ‼️
⚠️OPEN ACCESS redjournal.org/article/S0360…
With accompanying commentary by @CGrassberger & Team🙏🙏🙏
⚠️redjournal.org/article/S0360…
Very pleased to receive the Translational Research Grant from the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation @PCRF_Kids
For many children treated for brain cancer, survival comes with lasting hearing loss. This work aims to better predict that risk and support treatment decisions that protect long-term function.
Thanks for PCRF and for the great collaborators who made this possible: Drs. Torunn Yock, Harald Paganetti and David Grosshans @MGBResearchNews, @MDAndersonNews

🚨 New paper in @IJROBP
We used 🧠MRI, synthetic vascular maps, and a 3D cellular automata 💻 to predict how radiation necrosis spreads and which voxels are at highest risk on follow-up.
Huge shout-out to @nicogno_ and all co-authors.
🔔This is my first time as last author in the Red Journal 😌

Excited to share our latest @IJROBP paper on modeling brain necrosis progression based on vascular heterogeneity! Huge congrats to the team for this accomplishment! @nicogno_ @ibracham_ @keyurmedphys @ASTRO_org @ESTRO_RT @HarvardMedPhys @HarvardRadOnc
redjournal.org/article/S0360…
Two @IJROBP acceptances in 1 week 🙃. Research is tough but weeks like this make it feel worth it!
Huge thanks to @keyurmedphys and @nicogno_ who are the real engines behind these projects.
Collaboration > everything

Today we had our 3rd @MassGenBrigham #RadOnc Research Retreat, organized by @MiyamotoDavid & Atchar Sudhyadhom & an able organizing committee👏👏👏
☑️Inspiring intro & vision by @DAVIDPRYANMD MGBCI President
☑️Cutting edge interdisciplinary team science throughout the day🤝
☑️Birthday surprises courtesy of our people's leader Daphne Haas-Kogan🥳
☑️And much more😊
It is no secret we need to focus on The Mission‼️
Tomorrow at 3:30 pm Beirut time, I’m excited to be giving a keynote at @AUBMC_Official @AUB_Lebanon during the
GARN-CLS 5th International Bioinformatics Workshop: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Big Data for Precision Medicine.
Talk title: “Strategizing Next Generation Radiation Oncology through AI.”
In my talk, I’ll present new AI methods to personalize proton and photon therapy and discuss how these approaches can be combined with immunotherapy to improve outcomes.
