This webinar is hosted by the Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology (BIPS). Abstract Ionizing radiation exerts its biological effects primarily through the induction of DNA damage, particularly DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Activation of the DNA damage response (DDR) regulates cell-cycle arrest, DNA repair, apoptosis, and cellular senescence, thereby contributing to tumor control. However, […]

The International Society of Radiation Epidemiology and Dosimetry (ISoRED) was initiated in 2019 to bring together radiation researchers from around the world to discuss new results of studies of ionizing radiation effects in humans, epidemiologic methodology and dosimetry; support capacity building and training for the next generation of scientists interested in radiation epidemiology, statistics and dosimetry; […]

Overview With space exploration ambitions reaching unprecedented heights, agencies around the globe are working tirelessly to prepare astronauts for missions beyond Earth's atmosphere. Future endeavors, such as establishing a permanent lunar base or embarking on manned missions to Mars, will require extended human presence in space — a challenging environment where exposure to ionizing radiation […]
