The interaction of ionizing particles with DNA leads to the damage of this molecule. This damage is closely related to both the origin and treatment of cancer. In re- cent years, the used of heavy charged particles, such as protons, has increased very fast. Unlike photons and electrons, which have been used in radiation therapy for more than a century, the radiobiology associated to heavy…
The interaction of ionizing radiation with human beings leads to DNA damage. This damage is closely related to the origin of cancer as well as with its treatment through the radiation therapy. The Radiobiology is the branch of the science that studies the biological effects produced by ionizing radiations. There are two main approaches to study this kind of effects, experiments and simula…
The interaction of ionizing particles with the DNA induces biological damages, including Cancer. However, this disease can be treated by ionizing radiation, which is known as Radiation Therapy. Recently, a new Cancer treatment modality is under development, known as Targeted Radionuclide Therapy. It is based on the use of new radioactive isotopes linked to a vector molecule that carries t…
The interaction of ionizing particles with DNA can produce biological damage, including cancer. These processes can be studied with models based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. For this, we need geometric models of human genetic material, taking into account from the pairs of nucleotides to the chromosomes. HiC maps allow to experimentally determine the contact points of the chromatin fi…

Radiation-DNA interaction can induce biological damages, including Câncer. Paradoxically, this disease can be treated with these radiations, which is known as Radiation Therapy. Along the last decade, the use of proton beams in Radiation Therapy (protontherapy) has increased very fast. However, the mechanisms involved in the DNA damage induced by these particles are not well known yet. Th…
