<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\nOur first Research Forum is scheduled to take place on the afternoon of May 29, 2025<\/strong> in Marsico Hall. This year’s forum will feature research presentations from three UNC labs led by Drs. Barbara Vilen, Brian Miller, and Martina Kovarova. Each lab conducted a comparison study evaluating radiobiological effects using either 137<\/sup>Cs-based irradiator or X-ray irradiator in cells or live animals. Funding for these comparison studies was provided by Sandia National Laboratories and the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of Radiological Security. The scientific data reported from these laboratories will guide us how to replace the Cs-based irradiator with x-ray irradiator.\u00a0 In addition, a technical talk on radiation dosimetry tools will be given. Everyone is welcome to attend the forum and join our discussions.<\/p>\n Date: May 29, 2025<\/strong> (For anyone who wants to join the forum remotely, please register the Webinar here<\/a><\/strong> to receive the Webinar link.)<\/p>\n
