Jonathan Mason: Translating research from IDCOM to cancer clinics worldwide

Industry took a keen interest in our work, and I have been working at Elekta, a leading radiotherapy device manufacturer, since 2020, where we have directly translated work from our research at IDCOM into a product and have realised the benefits we envisioned. In this talk, I will share this journey and the things I have learnt about industrial research, IP and product development.
