Research Focus
Dr. Subhrajit Saha's lab at the University of Kansas Medical Center focuses on understanding how sex differences influence the body's response to radiation, particularly in the intestines. They explore ways to reduce inflammation and damage caused by radiation exposure using targeted treatments. Their research aims to identify new therapies that can be used as medical countermeasures in case of radiation accidents, helping to protect both men and women from radiation injuries.
