The movie shows images of two cell nuclei which contain a gfp-tagged DNA repair protein (XRCC1). The lower cell nucleus was microbeam-irradiated in the pattern of the Columbia University Crown, and imaged are DNA repair foci lighting up at the locations of the DNA damage (cells courtesy of David Chen).

RARAF is dedicated to providing user-friendly radiation sources and bio-labs for research in biology, radiation biology, and radiation physics.

We welcome outside users for our sources, including our unique single-cell/single-particle microbeam irradiator.

RARAF is funded by grant number P41 EB002033 from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB).
