MOLECULAR MEDICINE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (MMRI)

MMRI will be a two-acre facility that includes a Synchrotron, three Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) treatment rooms with gantries (see above image) that administer proton beams from 360-degree angles, a fixed-beam PBT treatment room, 16 exam rooms and a simulation suite with Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Computed Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for accurate treatment planning.

MMRI will offer the complete range of advanced proton therapies and provides research opportunities to maximize the capabilities of proton treatment on a variety of cancers.
