Volta” Physics Department\, Pavia\, Italy. Within national and Europe an research projects\, we study the effects of ionizing radiation on biolo gical structures. Our work includes experimental and theoretical approache s. Experimental measurements are routinely performed on in vitro and ex-vi vo cell cultures and tissues. In parallel\, physics-based and mathematical computational models are used to gain mechanistic insight into cell respo nses to radiation. \nBesides studies on fundamental radiobiological mechan isms elicited by varied radiation qualities or background environmental ra diation\, different projects focus on applications to radiation therapy an d its optimization\, as well as radiation protection\, in particular on lo w-dose exposures and the space radiation environment.\nIn this seminar\, w e will briefly review a selection of the more recent research accomplishme nts of the Lab. This includes ongoing projects on the optimization of comb ined chemo- and immuno-therapy treatments with radiotherapy\, studies of s pace-radiation related health risks and risks of nuclear workers accidenta lly exposed to peculiar radioactive products as micrometric metal particle s.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/radbio/5/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
