Cells and organisms are differentially sensitive to ionising radiation. What influences the individual response to radiation? We study the role of genetic and environmental factors and try to identify biomarkers of radiation sensitivity and exposure.
We have several projects to study the effect of combined exposure to radiations and to radiation plus cigarette smoke. The investigations are relevant to radiation protections because environmental and medical exposures often involve mixed components but the biological action of combined exposures is not well characterised.
