The Center for Radiological Research epitomizes a multidisciplinary
approach toward understanding at both basic and applied levels the
biological consequences of ionizing radiation exposures as they relate
to human health.
The
Center’s staff includes an interdisciplinary mix of professional
scientists from fields as diverse as molecular biology, cell biology,
radiation physics, computational physics, engineering and radiation oncology,
performing research in experimental biophysics, cellular and microbeam
studies, molecular and chromatin studies, and physics and biology related
to both low dose radiation and radiation therapy-modeling.
In
addition to its diverse faculty, the Center features two Core facilities and
subdivisions:
