Research / Radiation and Cancer Biology

H. Rodney Withers, M.D.,D.Sc.
Emeritus

Dr. Hubert Rodney Withers is considered by many colleagues to be the pre-eminent clinically-oriented radiation biologist in the world. He has made numerous scientific contributions over the years, but is most widely known for his seminal work on post-radiation repair and the effects of ionizing radiation on normal tissues. Many of the assays and the techniques he has developed are now being used in laboratories throughout the world. There is scarcely any major review of radiation biology which does not cite Dr. Withers' contributions prominently, and he stands out as the radiation biologist who has applied studies on basic radiation effects to the clinical practice of radiation therapy.
