Biosciences Program Faculty performing Free Radical & Radiation Biology research
The Free Radical & Radiation Biology Graduate Program is part of the Division of Radiation Oncology of the Department of Radiology. It is the only PhD granting program in a clinical department at the University of Iowa.
Graduate studies focus on the role of free radicals in a wide variety of diseases, including cancer, aging, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. Radiation biology is a sub-field of free radical biology and mainly involves the use of radiation in the treatment of cancer.
