I am interested in the biological consequences of low level radiation exposure. The lab uses tissue culture techniques to examine both the direct and indirect effects of radiation, and the transmission of these effects to neighbour and daughter cells. This has implications in both health and environmental fields.

Research Interests:

Genetics & Molecular Biology
