	Radiobiology Program Breaks New Scientific Ground at 88-Inch Cyclotron
		Though radiobiology accounts for less than five percent of the beam time at the 88-Inch, the request for a suitable beam line was not a minor one.
		Broadening the beam would be relatively simple except for the requirement that its intensity be uniform, that is, equal whether at the middle or at the edge of the beam.
		Radiobiology research poses a new set of environment, health, and safety issues at the 88-Inch.

	Toward a national consensus: teaching radiobiology to radiation oncology residents. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Thus, a gap exists in teaching the whole complement of cancer and radiobiology curricula, particularly in those programs in which the sole responsibility for teaching falls to one faculty member (50% of training programs are in this category).
		On average, the percentage of total teaching time devoted to classic radiobiology (50%), clinical radiobiology (30%), and molecular and cancer biology (20%) is appropriate, relative to the current makeup of the board examination.
		A sizeable minority of radiation biology instructors are dissatisfied with the feedback they receive with respect to both course content and the performance of their residents on standardized radiobiology examinations administered by the American College of Radiology and/or the American Board of Radiology.

	Low Dose Radiobiology - Low Dose Radiation Research Program
		The field of radiobiology began with the discovery that high doses of radiation could cause cancer and other health effects.
		Over the past five years, the focus of radiobiology in the low dose region has resulted in many interesting observations.
		Radiobiology continues to provide valuable information that will help develop better methods for using radiation in the treatment of disease as well as provide a scientific basis for radiation protection standards.

		The U.S. National Radiobiology Archives (NRA) program operated by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for the U.S. Department of Energy was transferred to the USTUR operations at WSU in 1996.
		As such the NRA is part of a greater international program that includes the European Radiobiology Archives and the Japanese Radiobiology Archives (Gerber, Watson, Sugahara and Okada 1996).
		Although the original archive collection at the NRA also included formalin and or alcohol- fixed tissues and thousands of radiographic films, concerns over the storage of such hazardous materials, coupled with budgetary constraints, led to proper disposal of these items which therefore were not transferred to the Registries with the other materials.

	BNL/NASA Radiobiology Program
		When the NSRL became operational during summer 2003, over 75 experimenters from some 20 institutions from the U.S. and abroad took part in what was the tenth running of heavy-ion beams at Brookhaven solely for radiobiology research.
		With the NSRL on line, instead of running only once or twice a year, radiobiology and physics experiments are conducted three to four times per year, for three to four weeks per run.
		Since astronauts are spending more time in space, they are receiving more exposure to ionizing radiation, a stream of particles that, when passing through a body, has enough energy to cause the atoms and molecules within that substance to become an ion.

		Dr John Akudugu, who works in the Radiobiology Laboratory at Tygerberg has come to similar conclusions which were published concurrently in Radiation Research, the American journal.
		The common denominator in the work of Abend and Akudugu is that cells possess still other damage responses, which Akudugu has quantitated and identified as a cell-specific entity.

	Summation of the International Conference on Radiation and Health: Radiobiology Viewpoint
		In the field of radiobiology there used to be two distinct terms: radiation biology involved studies of the effects of external radiations, whereas radiobiology was the study of isotopes, their distribution in the environment, and their effects when present as contaminants in the environment and in the body.
		Numerous topics of radiobiology and radiation biology were covered in the context of trying to understand the events from the moment of accident through the dispersion of radionuclides and the resulting effects as seen today.
		New venues of understanding the effects, their medical expression, the psychosocial effects, and the long-term chronic effects should be helpful to the medical community whose task is to take care of those affected, alleviate their symptoms, and find a possible cure.

	NASA Space Radiobiology Research Takes Off at New Brookhaven Facility
		But, for these ambitious plans to move forward, scientists first need a better understanding of how human space travelers will be affected by the harsh environment of space — which includes the presence of ionizing radiation — and how best to protect people in space from harm.
		This year, however, their research got a boost with the completion of a new, $34-million facility dedicated to NASA-funded space radiation-effects studies at the AGS Booster, now the best accelerator in America for these studies.
		With the NSRL on line, instead of running only once or twice a year, radiobiology and physics experiments will be conducted three to four times per year, for three to four weeks per run.
