The Particle Therapy Interuniversity Center Leuven (ParTICLe), equipped with one clinical vault and one experimental vault, is the first proton therapy center in Belgium. The Laboratory of Experimental Radiotherapy (KU Leuven), together with the clinical Department of Radiation Oncology UZ Leuven, has a long-standing tradition and established track record in both translational and clinical research. This fits perfectly with the mission of the Leuven Cancer Institute (LKI), in which these entities are embedded.
