Radiation Oncology
Research group
Group Leader
Manuel Ignacio Algara López
The Radiation Oncology Research Group (GREOR) is a clinical and basic research group working on the use of radiation as a base of cancer treatment, especially in the lines of altered fractionation, radiotoxicity and quality of life, technological quality control and innovation; in addition to clinical projects linked to the clinical activity in the Radiation Oncology Service.
It is a multidisciplinary group comprising medical staff, physicists, technicians and nursing staff. The group has a significant scientific output in relation to radiation oncology groups in the area, besides activity to give research visibility.
Its main objective is to maintain the active lines of research, establish synergies with other groups, both national and international, to continue with the group’s training activities and the level of scientific output, and fundraising for both competitive and non-competitive funds, besides increasing its impact in society (popular science, clinical practice guidelines, patient groups and dissemination).
