Igor Shuryak, M.D., Ph.D.

 
  Research Interests

1. Biologically-motivated quantitative mathematical modeling of radiation effects including:

  • The mechanisms of carcinogenesis induced by radiation, both at low doses for environmental
    concerns, and at high doses related to radiotherapy
  • Bystander effects
  • Inverse dose rate effects
  • Oxidative stress
  • DNA repair
  • Cell death
2. Testing theoretical concepts of radiation carcinogenesis using experimental animals:
  • In 2011-2012 Dr. Shuryak will serve as PI of a study on radiation-induced mammary
    carcinogenesis in mice funded by a Pilot Study Award from the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research and The Clinical Trials Office

Directions

Take the A, C, or 1 subway train to West 168th Street. From the corner of 168th Street and Broadway, walk 1/2 block west along 168th Street to 630 West 168th Street (College of Physicians and Surgeons).

Check in with the guard, tell them you are visiting Igor Shuryak (internal phone 5-2405). Get a pass, take the elevators up to the 11th floor. You'll be faced with a long corridor. Turn left at the corridor, walk all the way to the end, and stop at VC 11-234/35 (on the left).
