RELATIVE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS FOR THE INDUCTION OF MALIGNANT CHARACTERISTICS IN CELLS BY FAST NEUTRONS AND OF LUNG CANCER BY RADON

Objective

RELATIVE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS FOR THE INDUCTION OF MALIGNANT CHARACTERISTICS IN CELLS BY FAST NEUTRONS AND OF LUNG CANCER BY RADON.
Studies carried out are as follows:
measurements of the biological effectiveness of different types of radiation for induction of chromosome damage and cell reproductive death;
transformation of cells in culture by ionising radiations of different linear energy transfer;
experimental studies on lung tumour induction by inhalation of radon in combination with some promoting agents present in cigarette smoke.

Measurements have been carried out of:
the biological effectiveness of different types of radiation for the induction of chromosome damage and cell reproductive death;
transformation of cells in culture by ionising radiations of different linear energy transfer;
lung tumour induction by inhalation of radon in combination with some promoting agents present in cigarette smoke.

2. TRANSFORMATION OF CELLS IN CULTURE BY IONIZING RADIATIONS OF DIFFERENT LINEAR ENERGY TRANSFER.
3. EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON LUNG TUMOUR INDUCTION BY INHALATION OF RADON IN COMBINATION WITH SOME PROMOTING AGENTS, PRESENT IN CIGARETTE SMOKE.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
