Aims:
Our research utilizes radiation cataract as a model system to study the effects of low-dose ionizing radiation exposure in a complex, highly differentiated tissue. We believe radiation cataract is a useful model to determine the genetic and individual basis for risk from ionizing radiation with particular relevance to carcinogenesis and radiation induced DNA damage, repair and cell cycle control.
