On February 27, 2026, the International Radiation Science Collaboration Center, together with the Institute of Radiation Emergency Medicine (IREM) and the Research Center for Biomedical Sciences at Hirosaki University, hosted the 16th seminar entitled “Oxidative Stress Signaling and the NRF2 Pathway as Determinants of Radiation Resistance and Health Outcomes.”
The invited speaker was Prof. Siamak Haghdoost, a Professor of Molecular Radiobiology from the University of Caen Normandy, France, whose work is internationally recognized in the field of radiation biology. His lecture provided a comprehensive and timely overview of emerging research on radiation-induced DNA damage mediated by oxidative stress, with a particular focus on the NRF2 signaling pathway and the effects of specific inhibitors on radiation responses.
Held in a hybrid format to encourage broad participation, the event brought together 30 attendees on site and 5 online participants, including researchers and students from Indonesia, the United States, and Japan. His talk discussed the implications of oxidative stress signaling for radiation resistance, biological outcomes, and potential therapeutic strategies. The seminar highlighted the importance of integrating molecular radiobiology with health outcome research to better understand individual responses to radiation exposure.
The International Radiation Science Collaboration Center continues to support interdisciplinary and international knowledge exchange. The speaker’s presentation will be made available online , allowing broader access to the insights shared during this event and further promoting collaboration in radiation science research.
