PROCCA is a research environment within cancer therapy funded by UiO Life Science to promote interdisciplinary convergence. Norway will have its first proton therapy center in Oslo in 2023. In PROCCA, we will investigate how the physical properties of protons versus X-rays induce differential biological responses in tissues resulting in different short- and long-term damage in normal tissues.
