The Center for Radiological Research epitomizes an multidisciplinary
approach towards 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:
We also lead two large
research collaborations:

Drs.
Brenner and Hall are in the news
for their publication
in The New England Journal of Medicine (Nov. 29, 2007), arguing
that the potential carcinogenic effects from using CT scans may be
underestimated or overlooked.

A special
course, was hosted by Dr. Eric Hall on December 17, 2007, examined
Radiological
Science in the Context of Radiological Terrorism. Lectures
are from the course are available as
podcasts.
