Macy E. Corley, B.S.N., R.N., Postbaccalaureate Fellow
Ms. Corley is validating cancer treatment in SEER using electronic medical record and prescription file data from the Kaiser Permanente Breast Cancer Survivors Cohort.
Belinda Gorsuch, B.A., Postbaccalaureate Fellow
Ms. Gorsuch studies UV radiation and occupational exposure to radiation and their associations with cancers.
Caroline Esposito, B.A.
Ms. Esposito studies pediatric organ dose reconstructions using Monte Carlo simulations.
Keith Griffin, Ph.D., M.S., Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Griffin is helping to establish the computational dosimetry methods needed for future epidemiological studies on the use of radiation in medical procedures.
Haegin Han, Ph.D.
Dr. Han conducts dose assessment for patients and medical staff during the procedures that involve radiography and fluoroscopy.
Tae-Eun Kwon, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Kwon works on dose assessment for thyroid cancer patients and on dose recalculation for the U.S. Radiologic Technologists Cohort study.
Jim Mai, M.D., M.P.H., Ph.D., Research Fellow
Dr. Mai studies UVR exposure, photosensitizing medications, oncoviruses infection/activation, and cancer risk among SEER participants, U.S. radiologic technologists, and Medicare recipients.
Sergio Morato Rafet, Ph.D.
Dr. Morato Rafet contributes to projects focusing on Monte Carlo simulations and Deterministic Transport codes to calculate organ dose.
Sander Roberti, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Roberti investigates statistical methods as applied to studies of radiation, in particular related to the Chornobyl nuclear reactor accident.
Rienna G. Russo, M.H.S.
Ms. Russo investigates use of statins for cardiovascular disease prevention among breast cancer survivors.
Isabelle van der Velpen, M.D., Ph.D.
Dr. van der Velpen studies neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative outcomes after radiation exposure.
Yuehan Wang, Ph.D., M.Sc.
Dr. Wang characterizes the joint effects of radiation dose, chemotherapy, and other risk factors on subsequent thyroid cancer.
