NASA Space Radiation Laboratory

The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory at Brookhaven National Laboratory officially opened on Oct. 14, 2003.

 

Betsy was much involved in designing the experimental areas of the facility. She was one of the investigators in the team studying the differential expression of genes involved in DNA damage sensing and repair, in cell death and survival, and in cell cycle regulation. The work aimed to develop a basic understanding of the mechanisms of DNA damage caused by cosmic rays and its repair.
