Radiation epidemiology
Emphasis will be placed on human populations who have been exposed to radiation and implement cutting-edge computational and systems biological as well as genetic approaches to integrate mechanistic studies with organismic responses and adaptations and to develop advanced models through large-scale analytical platforms to generate novel translational paths. The JBL Center will be able to expand its access to data and biological samples from cohorts around the world exposed to radiation. Through a close collaboration with the radiation biology group, sophisticated molecular markers of dose response, biological effects, and susceptibility traits will be explored for assessment of the association of human population radiation exposure and health effects.
