Long Term Follow up of the Delayed Effects of Acute Radiation Exposure in Primates

Abstract

The overarching goal of this program is to explore our recent clinically relevant observations of DEARE in a unique cohort ofnon-human primates (NHP), termed the Radiation Survivor Cohort (RSC). This work consists of 4 projects: 1. Studies of type 2diabetes mellitus(T2DM); 2. Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD); 3. Chronic immune impairment with restriction of the antigenic responserepertoire; and 4. Genomic and transcriptomic studies of the molecular pathogenesis of T2DM, RIHD, and immune impairmentin the context of DEARE.
