Introduction to the Program

You will address the risks derived from the use of ionizing radiation thanks to this 100% online program, flexible and compatible with your other responsibilities"

Radiobiology has made significant advances in understanding the cellular response to radiation, allowing for more precise cancer therapies. On the other hand, it has contributed to the development of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy and

Radiosurgery techniques, improving efficacy and minimizing side effects. At the same time, scientists have exhaustively investigated the impact on human health of radiation emitted by some of the equipment used by people in their daily lives. As a result of these continuous innovations, engineers need to update their skills holistically. In this way, they can be part of scientific research and the development of tools that, in the medium and long term, contribute to reduce exposure rates.
To contribute to the comprehensive training of these professionals, TECH has an intensive program. This is composed of 10 exhaustive topics where students have at their disposal exclusive contents on Radiobiology in medical exposures in

Radiotherapy and other therapeutic procedures. Likewise, mathematical and statistical models of cell survival that must be taken into account for the calibration of these instruments are studied in depth. Also, the university program deals with the characteristics of low and high doses to organic tissues.

On the other hand, in line with the demands of modern professional life, this syllabus is presented in a 100% online modality, providing flexibility for engineers to adjust to their work commitments. In addition, the Relearningmethodology, based on the repetition of key concepts, not only facilitates the effective assimilation of knowledge, but also fosters lasting learning that is applicable in practical contexts. Through this innovative pedagogical approach, graduates effectively acquire and retain the knowledge essential to excel in Radiophysics in Radiobiology.
