Ane Appelt Professor
Ane Appelt is Professor of Clinical Medical Physics Rigshospitalet and Technical University of Denmark in Copenhagen. Her research focuses on reirradiation, adaptive treatments, clinical trial design, and outcome modelling. Ane strongly believes that reirradiation is our next major challenge in radiotherapy; requiring close collaboration between all radiotherapy professionals – from physicists, oncologists and radiographers to radiobiologists and computer scientists. She has co-led a multidisciplinary reirradiation research programme, where she has been responsible for technical innovations in reirradiation dose accumulation and treatment planning. She is the coauthor of 14 papers on reirradiation, many of them focusing on image registration and treatment planning. Over the last three years, she has established the ESTRO Physics Working Group on Reirradiation and helped found the transatlantic Reirradiation Collaborative Group (ReROG).
