STEM project: Radiation Biomarkers module

As part of ongoing engagement with Brunel's Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) Centre,  we have developed an interactive educational resource for school children aged 14 -16. The scientific aim of this resource is to introduce basic radiobiological concepts and to show how chromosome aberrations can be used as biomarkers to measure or estimate the amount of radiation a person might have received.

This version of the STEM project has been slightly modified for the CHRC website, to that which will be delivered through Brunel's STEM Centre.

Welcome to the Radiation Biomarkers Challenge
