Philippe Lambin, MD, PhD was born in 1961, became doctor of medicine in 1986 and specialized in Radiation Oncology in 1991 at the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL) in Belgium. In 1995 he received his PhD degree in Paris on the Radiation Sensitivity of human tumour cells. From 1993 to 1999 he was appointed, as Radiation Oncologist in the departement of the University Hospital Gasthuisberg in Leuven (KUL). Since 2000, he has held the position as seated Professor in Radiation Oncology at the University of Maastricht, Head of the department for Radiation Oncology of the University Hospital of Maastricht, Medical Director of the MAASTRO CLINIC, Division leader of the Research institute GROW and more recently he has also been appointed as Professor of Functional Imaging in Radiation Oncology at the Technical University of Eindhoven. He has been visiting professor at the university of Leuven, Philadelphia and Toronto.
Over the past thirteen years, he has received many awards which includes the 1991 Fullbright-Haze Award for research in the US, the 1993 ESTRO Varian Award, the 1995 Young Scientist Award of the Radiation Research Society (RRS), the 1996 Fellowship of Flemish Funds for Scientific Research, two prizes once in 1996 and again in 2002 from the Royal Belgian Academy of Medicine and the Breur Award from the European Society of Radiation Oncology (ECOO meeting, Berlin, 2009).
Complimenting these activities on both a European and International basis, he is a member of numerous scientific societies and a key contributor at various (inter)national scientific committees (e.g. ESTRO, CKTO, KWF, EU). Continuous involvement as a principal investigator in his specialized area has lead him to head more than 32 research grants and publish more than 204 peer reviewed papers with over 500 conferences contributions. Besides projects supported by cancer foundations and EU, he had/has many collaborations with pharma and imaging industry. He supervised more then 24 PhD projects, is author and co- and is (co)inventor of 11 patents (Four officially granted, 7 submitted not yet officially filed).
His main areas of interest are directed towards translational research in Radiation Biology with a specific focus on tumor hypoxia, functional imaging (CT-PET) and lung cancer. He has a recent interest in the develoment of a “treatment decision support system” based on multiparametric databases containing clinical, imaging, biological and therapeutic information.
