Welcome to the JBL Center
The John B. Little (JBL) Center for Radiation Sciences conducts cutting-edge biological, physical, and population-based epidemiologic research to define the health effects of radiation and to lay the groundwork for improved preventive and therapeutic strategies.
Our work is centered on understanding the fundamental interactions of ionizing radiation with molecules, cells, tissues, and organisms. Key areas of study include the roles of p53 signaling, DNA repair, and cell death pathways in determining responses to radiation exposure. These mechanistic insights provide an essential foundation for development of improved therapies for cancer as well as population-based research in radiation epidemiology, exposure and risk assessment, and radiation-related health outcomes.

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
