European Radiation Research 2006 conference (August 2006)
 
Two scientific papers were presented and this provided the opportunity for detailed discussions with other radiation scientists. Westlakes has scientific collaborations with groups in Europe and the USA and is particularly interested in the genetic effects of low dose radiation exposure. The conference also provided the opportunity to see the Chernobyl site close up.
 
Presentations
  • Tawn EJ, Whitehouse CA, Riddell AE - FISH chromosome analysis of plutonium workers
  • Rees G, Trikic M, Winther J, Tawn EJ, Stovall M, Guldberg P, Boice J - A pilot study of germline minisatellite mutation rate in the offspring of Danish survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer
