Abstract | |||
May 4-6, 2009 Meeting. +Late Health Effects of Ionizing Radiation: Bridging the Experimental and Epidemiologic Divide+ is an international conference organized by Radiation Epidemiology Branch (REB), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), Georgetown University and European Commission to explore recent advances, causation, and effects of exposure to low level ionizing radiation and ionizing radiotherapy. The goal is to stimulate interdisciplinary interactions between the participants and to foster long-term research collaboration. It is expected that a monograph will be produced from the proceedings of the conference. Topics to be covered include the following: low dose, low-dose-rate effects; non-targeted radiobiological effects; radiation sensitive subgroups; dosimetry; in utero, occupational and environmental cancers; non-cancer diseases, such as thyroid, cataracts, cardiovascular disease; radiation risk and the public. |
