    RESEARCH FOCUS

    .

    Non-targeted effects of low-dose, low-LET ionizing radiation exposure which manifest as delayed genomic instability and the bystander effect, and the possible involvement of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha in mediating these effects, primarily employing cytogenetic endpoints.
