"As happens in cancer therapy, they know empirically that it works but they don't know why," said Jorge A. Morales, a professor of chemistry at Texas Tech University and a leading proponent of the computational analysis of proton therapy. "To do experiments with human subjects is dangerous, so the best way is through computer simulation.""As happens in cancer therapy, they know empirically that it works but they don't know why," said Jorge A.
