For a decade, the John B. Little Center for Radiation Sciences and Environmental Health at the Harvard School of Public Health has convened experts in cancer cell biology and radiation sciences for a special symposium. The event and the Center are named after John Little, who is the James Stevens Simmons Professor of Radiobiology, Emeritus, in the Department of Genetics and Complex Diseases.
