In June 2005 the Department of radiation and radiobiological research was reorganized in the Laboratory of radiation biology. The scientific programme of the LRB was determined by the 1-st priority theme of the Topical plan for JINR research and international cooperation that focused efforts on following main directions: 1) radiation genetics and radiobiology; 2) photo-radiobiological research; 3) molecular modeling of biophysical systems; 4) physics of radiation protection; 5) radiation monitoring at the JINR nuclear facilities and personnel radiation control.
