On September 4 the PHAST-ETN Kick off meeting took place, gathering 14 beneficiaries and 8 Partner Organisations. PHAST addresses some relevant “unmet needs” of the medical community in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer – one of the leading causes of death worldwide – to significantly improve the quality of life for European society.

The kick-off meeting officially launched the recruitment campaign for 15 ESR working in the field of biophotonics for the diagnosis of cancer. The ESRs will be trained to all the technologies through hands-on laboratory platforms, thematic workshops and courses to build solid careers as biophotonics professionals in both academic and non-academic sectors.

This will be possible thanks to the multidisciplinary environment created by the PHAST consortium, composed of research institutions, 2 hospitals and 8 industries, among them specialized small companies as well as global players in the field such as Horiba, Philips and Zeiss.
