Welcome to the JBL Center
The John B. Little (JBL) Center for Radiation Sciences supports cutting edge biological, physical, and population-based epidemiological research to understand, interpret, and estimate the health effects of radiation that pave the way for effective preventive and therapeutic strategies.
Our primary focus is on understanding fundamental interactions of ionizing radiation with molecules, cells, and organisms. Major topics being researched include the roles of p53 signaling, DNA repair, and cell death in responses to ionizing radiation. Our radiation biology research provides molecular and mechanistic insights for population-based studies of radiation epidemiology, exposure/risk assessment and health outcomes. Learn more…
Research Focus
The JBL Center will support cutting edge biological, physical and population-based epidemiological research to understand, interpret, and estimate the health effects of radiation that should pave the way for effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. Our research areas include:
- Radiation Biology
- Radiation Epidemiology
- Radiation Exposure & Risk Assessment
- Low Dose Radiation
