Smoking is the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Cohort epidemiological studies have demonstrated that women are more vulnerable to cigarette-smoking induced diseases than their male counterparts, however, the molecular basis of these differences has been remained unkn...

Cesium-137 is a radionuclide of concern in fallout from reactor accidents or nuclear detonations. When ingested or inhaled, it can expose the entire body for an extended period of time, potentially contributing to serious health consequences ranging from acute radiation syndrome to increased cancer...

Understanding the possible impact of potential confounding factors is necessary for any approach to radiation biodosimetry. Potential confounding factors have not been fully addressed for gene expression-based biodosimetry approaches, such as we are developing. To begin addressing this need, we ha...

Analysis of human peripheral blood 48 hours after irradiation ex vivo with graded doses of gamma rays. Results have been used in building and testing classifiers to predict exposure dose for use in radiological triage, and also provide insight into immune cell responses. Results were compared with...

Radiation biodosimetry can play a critical role in the response to a large-scale radiologic emergency, and gene expression profiles have shown promise for providing biodosimetric information. This study was designed to test if gene expression could be used to distinguish between doses received from ...

After defining a gene expression signature that predicted radiation exposure dose with high accuracy in human peripheral white blood cells irradiated ex vivo, we now demonstrate the predictive power of gene expression signatures in blood from patients undergoing total body irradiation. Using whole ...

Our in vivo study measures miRNA and gene expression changes in human blood cells in response to ionizing radiation in order to develop miRNA signatures that can be used as biomarkers for radiation exposure. Blood was collected from 8 radiotherapy patients immediately prior to and at 4 h after total...
