  • Earl P. Benditt Endowed Lectureship 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm   Protein Damage: Biological Consequences and Role in Disease Pathogenesis

    Miroslav Radman, PhD, Founder and Research Director, Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences, Split, Croatia, Professor Emeritus, University of Paris - R. Descartes Medical School, Paris, France

    Location: Health Sciences Building, T-739

    Summary: We recently found that oxidative damage to proteins can cause both reversible as well as long-lived phenotypic consequences, and that irreversible forms of radiation-induced oxidative damage to proteins such as carbonylation are a better predictor of cell survival than is radiation-induced DNA damage.
