Dr. Barcellos-Hoff’s research focuses on how tissues integrate information across scales of organization and uses this information to identify critical events in terms of effects on cell phenotype and tissue interaction during radiation carcinogenesis. | |
Dr. Murnane’s interests are the study of the mechanisms of DNA damage, DNA repair, and chromosome instability, and their relationship to cancer. |

Dr Betancur’s long-term research goal is to understand the mechanisms encoded in the DNA by which cancerous cells in response to inflammation or radiation-induced inflammation, avoid being detected and destroyed by the host’s immune system. |
