Research in Medical and Health Physics
Research groups and research facilities exist in the Radiation Sciences Graduate Program, Hamilton Health Sciences, the Juravinski Cancer Centre, St. Joseph’s Hospital, and in different departments within the University.
Current research activity includes mixed beta-gamma dosimetry, mixed neutron-gamma dosimetry (Byun), nuclear and atomic techniques used for analysis of both trace toxic elements and major components of human body composition (McNeill, Bock), development of novel radiopharmaceuticals and medical use of radioisotopes in diagnosis and therapy (Farncombe), magnetic resonance imaging (Bock, Noseworthy, Rowley), the role of adaptive response, genomic instability and bystander effect in radiation risk assessment of human and non-human biota (Mothersill, Seymour), novel radiotherapy planning, delivery and verification techniques (Diamond, Ostapiak, Wierzbicki).
