Clinical Laboratories
Genetic and Genomic Diagnostic Lab

Proton Research shoot, At the Proton Research Facility, scientists test the effects of proton radiation on models of human disease. They work alongside physicists, engineers, and radiation biologists to optimize radiation treatment. Their goal is to understand at the molecular level how radiation therapy works in the clinic and how to optimize the process to take full advantage of the therapy while reducing side effects, Research assistant Alexis Redmond pictured in the lab.
