... Brenner, Ph.D., is the director of the Center for Radiological Research at Columbia University, as well as the director of the Radiological Research Accelerator Facility and principal investigator of the Center for High-Throughput Minimally-lnvasive Radiation Biodosimetry, which focuses on developing mechanistic models for the effects of ionizing radiation on living systems, both at the chromosomal and animal levels. He divides his research time between the effects of high doses of ionizing radiation (relating to radiation therapy)
