We have a dedicated funded position for someone to train in the field of Radiation Biology. Our program covers a variety of research areas, many with an emphasis in biology, including the Molecular and Cellular Oncology (DMCO) Track which has two major areas of research:
1. Improving the Effectiveness of Cancer Treatments that utilize Radiation Therapy, seeking to modify the response of tumors and normal tissues to radiation by analyzing and modulating both existing molecular pathways and those that result from radiation exposure.
2. The Center for Medical Countermeasures against Radiation, developing protective and mitigation agents that could be deployed as a countermeasure in the event of nuclear detonation, accident, or a radiation dispersal device.
Both BSc. and MS holders are eligible for the fellowship. Graduate study leading to a doctoral degree in Radiation Biology will qualify for funded tuition and fees as well as a stipend. Application deadline for fall 2016 is Dec. 1, 2015.

We are pleased to announce that the Biomedical Physics (BMP) program has changed its name to Physics and Biology in Medicine (PBM) effective Fall 2014. The reason for the name change is to more accurately reflect the balance between the physics and biological research activities within our program. While this may seem like a subtle change, the new name puts the physics and biology components of our program on more equal footing, rather than having one be just a modifier of the other. We hope you will join us in celebrating our new name, Physics and Biology in Medicine.
