About

Welcome to my site.

Julien Welmant

My name is Julien Welmant. I'm a radiation oncologist. In short, I treat cancer with beams.

Alongside clinical work, I build: tools, experiences, a few projects. I look for what can make care more human, more alive, more fun too.

If that resonates, you're in the right place.
