Translational Radiation Biodosimetry Diagnostics Laboratory

The Biodosimetry Diagnostics Laboratory develops and validates molecular diagnostic tests to detect, quantify, and monitor human radiation exposure. The laboratory applies gene expression and proteomic signatures to create sensitive and specific biodosimetry tools capable of estimating radiation dose and biological impact.

Research spans discovery, assay development, and clinical validation, with an emphasis on both rapid point-of-care platforms and high-throughput laboratory-based diagnostics. These complementary approaches support timely triage in radiation emergencies as well as detailed exposure assessment in clinical, occupational, and research settings.

By integrating translational science with real-world use cases, the laboratory advances scalable, robust biodosimetry solutions that inform medical management, improve emergency preparedness, and support public health and national security responses to radiological and nuclear events.
