Medical and Organizational Challenges Resulting from a Radiological Nuclear Emergency

Rockville, MD US
July 14, 2015 to July 15, 2015

The tremendous environmental, social, and medical cost of a large-scale release of nuclear or radiological material as a result of deliberate attack or natural disaster has led to several programs aimed at improving national and local preparedness.  Topics to be discussed around the mitigation and treatment of radiation damage include: patient assessment, biomarkers and biodosimetry, suitability of animal models, small molecules, growth factors, and cells as mitigators, as well as their mechanisms of action in radiation-damaged tissues, late effects of acute and prolonged exposure, survivorship issues, and future developments.  Attendees will leave the conference armed with the information needed to improve their center’s preparedness for an emergency situation.
