Research project to develop microRNA biomarkers for organ-specific biodosimetry following radiation exposure, improving diagnosis and treatment of radiation-induced multi-organ injuries.
Description
This research project aims to develop biomarkers to discriminate between exposure of the upper- and lower-body organs to radiation during public health emergencies. By understanding these biomarkers, the project seeks to predict health outcomes more accurately after radiation exposure, aiding in diagnosing and treating multi-organ injuries caused by radiation.
