The collaboration (This page needs to be updated)


The OpenDose collaboration currently includes 27 research teams from 13 countries around the world. Members of the collaboration are researchers, postdocs and PhD students with experience in nuclear medicine dosimetry, Monte Carlo methods, high performance computing, software development and education.

Collaboration operation

The collaboration organises annual meetings with all members to discuss actions, new developments and to present results.

The governing body of the collaboration is the Steering Committee (SC). Each lab participating to the OpenDose collaboration is represented in the SC. The SC decides on all matters related to the life of the collaboration, namely acceptance of new members, publication policy, etc...

The SC elects technical coordinators and a spokesperson.

The current spokesperson is Manuel Bardiès (manuel.bardies@inserm.fr).
Current technical coordinators are:

  • Damian Borys
  • Ana Denis Bacelar
  • Erin McKay
