The Department of Environmental Toxicology is a research department at the Evolutionary
Biology Center (EBC), and Unit of Biomedical Radiation Sciences (BMS), is a research
department at Department of Radiology, Oncology and Radiation Science, both at Uppsala
University. Together with Department of Soil and Environment at SLU the respective groups
will provide a multidisciplinary research in radiotoxicology. We have been collaborating with
Department of Neuroscience, Uppsala University for more than ten years and as a group in
radiotoxicology for five years. Whereas the Department of Environmental Toxicology forms a
firm base for behavioural and neurotoxicology research, the Unit of Biomedical Radiation
Sciences and Department of Soil and Environment is experienced and well equipped for
radiobiological as well as molecular biology research. A "neonatal animal model" has been
developed to study developmental neurotoxic effects from low-dose exposure to
environmental agents and recently also ionizing radiation.
