Discussing innovative quantum radiation research for pediatric cancer
Bio for Dr. Kei Iwamoto: I attended the University of California, Berkeley to earn a double AB degree in Physics and in Biochemistry. I received a PhD degree from the UCLA School of Medicine in Biomedical Physics in the specialty of Radiation Biology and Experimental Therapeutic Oncology. I then worked at the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF) in Hiroshima, Japan, as a fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, to study the molecular mechanisms of radiation carcinogenesis among the atomic bomb survivors. RERF is a binational research institute funded equally be the governments of Japan and the U.S. I moved back the U.S. to accept a faculty position and set up a laboratory in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Oncology of the Department of Radiation Oncology within the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
