Research Focus
Dr. J. Mark Cline's lab focuses on investigating the long-term effects of radiation exposure using a unique cohort of nonhuman primates. They explore how radiation affects health over time, looking at diseases like diabetes and heart conditions that develop after exposure. The lab collaborates with other researchers to share findings and improve our understanding of radiation injury, which is crucial for developing better emergency responses and treatments.

Research Aims
4AIM 01Identify patterns of post-irradiation morbidity in nonhuman primates.
AIM 02Characterize genomic and biomarker profiles associated with radiation-induced disorders.
AIM 03Assess the late effects of treatments used to alleviate radiation damage.
AIM 04Refine the study cohort for more balanced insights based on age, sex, and treatment types.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
