Radiation biophysics Research is aimed at understanding the nature and extent of damage to DNA and DNA-protein complexes induced by ionizing radiation at the molecular level. The group develops theoretical model RADAMOL (RAdiation DAmage to bioMOLecules), which describes radiation action to DNA. Experimental microdosimetry Research is focused on ionizing radiation energy transfer processes. Radioecology The group is aimed on studies of several anthropogenic influences utilizing analyses of radionuclides. Applying the 14C determination, the group studies the occurence of radionuclides in the surrounding of nuclear power plants, or fossil fuel combustion. Using the radiocarbon dating, the laboratory also participates in research of the past anthropogenic influences and climatic changes. External exposure to natural radiation The aim is to evaluate the exposure to cosmic radiation both on Earth and onboard aircraft and spacecraft. |
