Siemens Medical Solutions of Malvern, PA, has signed an agreement to provide integrated software systems and equipment for a future health science research campus to be developed by Touro University of Vallejo, CA.
Touro University offers osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, and health sciences and education degrees. The $1.2 billion campus will include a particle therapy center, which will offer particle beam therapy for cancer, including proton beam and heavy carbon ions, and will be the first site in the U.S. to offer this kind of treatment, according to Touro.
Currently, particle therapy is only available in Japan and Germany. Touro’s proposed particle beam therapy is subject to final U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance, Siemens said.
