Description
ENEA is coordinator of the project funded by NATO SPS and implemented with funds by MAECI under the initiative EU CBNR Risk Mitigation-Centre of Excellence, aimed at validating a novel tool for early detection of radiation exposure. The absorbed radiation dose is rapidly detected using biomarkers that can measure genetic damage, oxidative stress and inflammation.
ENEA Activities:
Development of methods, biomarkers validation on patients, setting up of lab facilities in Egypt and training of the Egyptian researchers, e-training.
