Marijke De Saint-Hubert, is a researcher at SCK CEN in the department of Radiation protection Dosimetry and Calibration within the unit Research in Dosimetric Applications. Her PhD was performed at KULeuven (BE) in the nuclear medicine department focusing on the development of new molecular imaging agents for apoptosis. She conducted a post-doc for 2 years at the university of Maastricht (NL) setting-up a new pre-clinical animal facility. Her current work at SCK CEN focuses on dosimetry and radiation protection research in medical applications with a particular focus on proton therapy. She has experience with several active and passive dosimetry techniques and radiation transport codes. Moreover, Dr De Saint-Hubert is involved in the development of advanced dosimetry systems, including a novel RPL based reader for 2D film dosimetry as well as an in-vivo dosimetry system for individual patient monitoring during radiotherapy.
Dr. De Saint-Hubert is an active member of EURADOS network in working group 9 focussing on radiation protection in radiotherapy. She is currently involved in the EC-funded project HARMONIC where she is leading the task on out-of-field dose measurements within pediatric phantoms for validation of dose reconstruction algorithms used for the paediatric cohort in radiotherapy.
Her work is published in over 25 peer-reviewed scientific papers and was shown on several national and international conferences. She is mentor of 3 PhD topics in the field of (micro)dosimetry in targeted alpha therapy and proton therapy. In addition, she is an active teacher of the SCK•CEN Academy.
