About
Qiuning Zhang is a leading authority in charged particle radiotherapy, with a career dedicated to advancing the clinical application of ion therapy. Her primary research focuses on the physics and biology of proton and heavy ion beams, particularly their use in treating complex and radioresistant tumors. Zhang’s most significant contribution is her leadership in developing the "Ion therapy guideline (Version 2020)", a seminal work that has become a foundational reference for treatment protocols worldwide, cited 4 times and shaping clinical practice. She has been instrumental in translating decades of experimental particle therapy—from the early neutron and neon ion trials at Lawrence Berkeley to the pioneering work at Japan’s National Institute of Radiological Sciences—into standardized, evidence-based guidelines. Her work bridges historical breakthroughs with modern precision oncology, ensuring that the unique physical advantages of ion beams are harnessed safely and effectively. Zhang’s impact is felt not only in her publications but also in her role as a mentor and collaborator, driving the global adoption of ion therapy as a critical tool in the fight against cancer.
