Research
Interests
Mechanisms of bystander
effects on in vivo systems using microbeams. Current, efforts
are centered in understanding bystander effects using C. elegans
as a model.
Develop high-throughput automated technologies, specifically using F.I.S.H. technique, to assess radiation exposure levels (biodosimetry) to be used in radiological emergencies.
