Feinberg School of Medicine | Radiation Oncology | Woloschak Lab Grant Alliance for Radiological Exposures and Mitigation Science

2022 IRPA North American Regional Congress

At the 2022 Congress, “Meeting the Challenges in the Practice of Radiation Protection”, Dr. Gayle Woloschak attended as Morgan Lecturer invited awardee and Dr. Shaheen Dewji attended as co-chair to the plenary sessions. The meetings took place in Union Station Hotel, St. Louis, Missouri on 20–24 February 2022.

Committee Contributors to Low Dose Studies

AllREMS’ Drs. Gayle Woloschak (Northwestern University), Dorthe Schaue (UCLA), and Shaheen Dewji (Georgia Tech) all served as committee members and contributors to this publication study on low dose radiation led by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. The study committee addressed research and infrastructure needs required to establish a low dose radiation research program in the United States. The study cites recent innovations in radiobiology, epidemiology, and dosimetry sciences that must be harnessed and integrated to address fundamental research questions associated with low dose radiation health effects and variables contributing to individual risk assessment.

They visited the Photon source at Argonne National Lab for a guided tour of the facilities being used for this grant.

2024 Trinity Site Visit

The Trinity site is a memorial for the first ever nuclear bomb test explosion, located within the White Sands National Monument. The Trinity Site explosion occured at 5:29:45 a.m. Mountain War Time on July 16, 1945. The Woloschak lab caravaned across the country for three days, joined by ORNL and ORAU staff as well as the former Radiation Oncology head of Northwestern to visit this historic site for their annual open house day in October.
