An Unexpected Fight: A Pediatric Cancer podcast

Discussing innovative quantum radiation research for pediatric cancer
Bio for Dr. Kei Iwamoto: I attended the University of California, Berkeley to earn a double AB degree in Physics and in Biochemistry. I received a PhD degree from the UCLA School of Medicine in Biomedical Physics in the specialty of Radiation Biology and Experimental Therapeutic Oncology. I then worked at the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF) in Hiroshima, Japan, as a fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, to study the molecular mechanisms of radiation carcinogenesis among the atomic bomb survivors. RERF is a binational research institute funded equally be the governments of Japan and the U.S. I moved back the U.S. to accept a faculty position and set up a laboratory in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Oncology of the Department of Radiation Oncology within the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
You can also get involved with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation through fundraising, volunteering, promoting awareness, or contributing to pediatric cancer research. Visit nationalpcf.org for more information about the foundation
