About Aukelos

The Problem
20 million
new cancer diagnoses in 2022
About 60%

of all patients with cancer need radiotherapy

The number and rise in cancer cases worldwide is a serious issue, in which radiotherapy plays a crucial role. This growing need requires the utmost commitment from applied research and industry to provide ever-better and more accessible treatments.

Our Mission

Aukelos is committed to advancing the field of cancer radiotherapy by developing the technologies needed to enable pioneering therapeutic approaches and address critical challenges in treatment delivery.

Why This Matters

Improving patient outcomes in radiotherapy requires novel approaches resulting in advanced protocols, streamlined treatment processes, and cost-effective healthcare solutions.

We believe that the technology capable of achieving all this is laser-plasma particle acceleration, a disruptive approach that could bring significant benefits to radiotherapy:

01.

Enhanced Treatment Possibilities

Enabling new treatment options for cancer patients, such as the use of Very High Energy Electron (VHEE) or FLASH-RT.
02.

Streamlined Treatment Pathways

Reducing the time required for patient preparation and treatment delivery.
03.

Optimized Healthcare Efficiency

Minimizing costs while advancing operational effectiveness.
04.

Innovative, Adaptable Technology

Developing compact, intelligent systems designed for seamless integration into existing hospital infrastructures.

for cancer radiotherapy.

We are developing a prototype radiotherapy machine based on laser-plasma particle acceleration, an approach which has recently been scientifically and operationally validated.

Tiny, but powerful particle accelerators.

In laser wakefield acceleration, a laser-driven technique for accelerating electron beams, a high-power laser pulse interacts with a gas target, ionizing it and creating a plasma, a state of matter in which electrons and protons are unbound and mixed together. Moving through the plasma, the laser pulse creates a ripple or “wake” of charged particles. In turn, these wakes produce extremely strong electric fields, which can trap and accelerate electrons to very high, relativistic speeds in just a few millimeters.

Think of a laser pulse as a boat moving on the surface of a lake, creating waves behind it. When this happens, electrons can “surf” on those waves, getting a massive energy boost.
