Objectives |
|
In the first half of the semester, I shall lecture on what radiation is and what kind of affects appears when we are exposed to radiation. In the latter half, I shall lecture on ways of use of radioisotopes in the field of biochemistry and the representative results brought by them. In addition, I shall comment on the law and the facility's original regulations for the prevention of the radiation damage. Through this series of lectures, I hope that students will be able to make the right scientific decisions.
