British Empire Cancer Campaign Research Unit in Radiobiology
Historyedit
The institute was founded as the Gray Laboratory at Mount Vernon Hospital by Louis Harold Gray in 1953 [2] as the world's first radiobiological institute.[3] Early research focused on the oxygen effect to improve radio sensitivity of tumours.[4] The institute at Mount Vernon was home to a unique 4 MeV heavy ion Van de Graaff accelerator.[5]
Research on the effects of oxygenation has continued, as well as other projects and collaborations including work on proton accelerators.[6] The institute remained at Mount Vernon Hospital until 2008 when it relocated to Oxford after the Gray Laboratory Cancer Research Trust became a wholly owned subsidiary of the University.[7]
