and proposed the very challenging perspective of system radiobiology at the
interface of biology, computer science, and physics. Technology will certainly
continue to evolve at an incredible speed, but the real treasure that has to be
protected is the human network of researchers from all around the world
sharing a common scientifi c tool.
