Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims to develop a method to estimate radiation effects using computer simulation. By conducting computer simulation using the phenomenon as a mathematical model, it becomes possible to cross-analyze knowledge obtained by cell biology and molecular biology.
New findings obtained in this research can be applied to analysis of effects on living cells due to radiation exposure and prediction of radiotherapy effect.
