New Capabilities

As of October 2026: Grant recipient

The National Institutes of Health has obligated $8 million to the University of Wisconsin System for a neutron capture therapy research facility in Madison. The award, recorded September 17 with work starting September 18, would give the US its first accelerator-based clinical neutron-beam resource. UW-Madison had already lined up the technology: in September 2025 it agreed with TAE Life Sciences, a California biotech, to install that firm's Alphabeam neutron source.
