What do radiation therapy and gazpacho have in com What do radiation therapy and gazpacho have in common? 🍲 🔬 Besides both requiring careful preparation, not much, but they are both important parts of the story of Carlos Huesa-Berral, PhD, the latest researcher featured in our Researchers Unplugged series! Working in the lab of Alejandro Bertolet, PhD, Carlos develops mathematical and computational models to help make radiation-based cancer treatments more precise. One focus of his research is radioembolization, a treatment for liver cancer that uses millions of tiny radioactive beads to target tumors. His goal is to predict how those beads move through a patient's liver, helping clinicians optimize treatment while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. When he's not working on treatment optimization, you'll likely find him spending time with his wife and children, playing soccer, or enjoying favorite dishes from his hometown of Málaga, Spain.
