Current research interests: • Biological effects of ionizing radiation with a focus on charged particles. • Mechanisms of radiation action, genetic and epigenetics aspects. • Effects of protracted exposures at low doses, their implications in radiation protection. • Radiobiology of charged particles, their application in hadrontherapy.
