Research

ProCure believes in evidence-based medicine. Our network of proton centers will enable our company to make a significant contribution to proton therapy research. We are collaborating with leading academic research centers on clinical research and protocol development to ensure that quality data is captured for analysis.

Meet Niek Schreuder

Mr. Schreuder, senior vice president, medical physics and technology, is one of the foremost medical physicist pioneers in the world. He was director of medical physics at the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute (MPRI) where he was responsible for all medical physics related matters. Mr. Schreuder also served as the medical physicist and project manager for the Indiana University (IU) Cyclotron Facility where he led the medical physics design effort associated with MPRI. Prior to MPRI and IU, he was division head of the operations and development division of the Medical Radiation Group at Ithemba Laboratories for Accelerator Sciences (tLabs) in South Africa. At tLabs, Mr. Schreuder developed the computerized patient positioning system for proton therapy using a commercial robotic arm. Mr. Schreuder earned a BS with honors in radiation physics, a Diploma in Datametrics, and an MS in physical sciences in medical sciences from the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa.
