Hiske van der Weide

Hiske van der Weide is a researcher at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Groningen, affiliated with the Cognition, Ageing and Disease (CAD) department. Her work focuses on neuro-oncology, particularly proton therapy applications and radiation-induced effects in glioma patients.

• Active in diffusion-weighted imaging validation
• Developing predictive models for radiation contrast enhancement
• Contributing to European Particle Therapy Network standards

Recent research examines neurocognitive outcomes in lower-grade glioma patients undergoing proton radiotherapy. She received the Enhancing Undergraduate Research Grant in 2022-2023 and collaborates across disciplines including medical physics and radiobiology.

• Key Trends: Integration of dosimetric analysis (LET/RBE) with clinical outcomes
• Network: European collaborations in particle therapy
