The Division of Radiation Research is comprised on 11 faculty engaged in innovative, translational research with a focus on the study of the tumor microenvironment, radiation response modifiers, photodynamic therapy and proton therapy. Research in the Division is supported by multiple grants from the NIH, DoD, NASA, private foundations and industry. Faculty in the Division can have cross-appointments to other Departments and can belong to different graduate groups such as Cancer Biology and Pharmacology.
The Division has recently moved to brand new, contiguous laboratory space in the Translational Research Building, in very close proximity to the clinic. State-of-the-art shared instrumentation includes a 3-D conformal irradiator for small animals, live cell microscopy, hypoxia chambers, multiple PDT lasers, etc. The TRC building has its own barrier and non-barrier animal facility and small animal imaging facilities which include optical, MR and CT imaging. A competitive start-up package and laboratory space will be provided.
