Liz is a Ph. D. physics graduate with over 15 years of experience as a Radiation Protection Scientist at UKHSA's Chemical, Radiation Chemical and Environmental Hazards Division. As head of the Radiation Effects Department, Liz is responsible for a programme of research associated with understanding how exposure to ionising impacts health. Liz's main field of research is radiation biodosimetry - using the cytogenetic (cellular and chromosomal) effects of ionising radiation to estimate individual doses, and Liz also has wider interests in whole body radiation effects and non-cancer effects including cataractogenesis.

Christophe identified the first radiotherapy patient whose radiation toxicity was due to a defect in DNA DSB repair which was thought to be almost incompatible with survival at the time; it was found later that the patient had a mutation in ligase IV. After several post-doctorate positions, Christophe became in 2005 the head of the Cancer Mechanisms and Biomarkers group in the Radiation Effects department.

Lourdes Cruz-Garcia started her research career at the University of Barcelona (Spain) where she received her MSc and PhD. After her postdoctoral studies at the department of human genetics at the University of Utah (USA), she was recruited at UKHSA's RCE in Cancer Mechanisms and Biomarkers group. Currently, she is co-leading the group with Dr Christophe Badie.

I am an engineer/physicist specialising in the interactions of light and living matter. I graduated from the University of Dundee with both a BEng in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD in Physics. Since finishing my PhD I worked in the Photobiology Unit at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, studying the diagnosis and treatment of skin disease and cancer using light. I am now leading the Optical Radiation Effects Group at the UKHSA, continuing the work of uncovering the interactions between light and life, and how these might impact human health.

Stephen has over 13 years' experience as a Radiation Protection Scientist at UKHSA and its predecessors. As head of the Cytogenetics Group and the Chromosome Dosimetry Service, Stephen's main field of research is radiation biodosimetry - using the cytogenetic (cellular and chromosomal) effects of ionising radiation to estimate individual doses. The service is further underpinned by Stephen and his colleagues' studies into the cytogenetic effects of ionising radiation and statistical methods to support research and development, and Stephen also has an interest in wider radiation protection, particularly whole-body radiation effects and radiation cataractogenesis.
