Biomarkers of Radiation in the Environment / NATO Science for Peace and Security Series A: Chemistry and Biology (PDF)

Institute of Molecular Biology NAS RA, and head of Laboratory of Experimental Biology and senior scientist at CANDLE Synchrotron Research Institute, Yerevan, Armenia. Her primary work is related to the molecular and cellular pathomechanisms of cerebrovascular diseases, aging and radiation biology aiming to development of effective treatment strategies. She is member of editorial board and reviewer of a number of international scientific journals, member and co-chair of international grant programs on radiobiology.



Tom Cresswell is a Senior Research Scientist in Ecotoxicology at Australia's Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). He uses nuclear techniques to understand the fate and impacts of a range of anthropogenic contaminants on aquatic organisms. Dr Cresswell has been invited to several key international meetings other than BRITE, including the Plastics Awareness Global Initiative (PAGI) held at UC San Diego in 2018 and several expert meetings organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on using nuclear techniques in marine plastics research and using radioecological tracers to determine coastal and marine ecosystem health. Dr Cresswell is a board member of Science and Technology Australia (STA), a peak body representing over 70,000 STEM professionals across the country and holds executive board positions for the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Australasia and the South Pacific Environmental Radioactivity Association (SPERA). He regularly participates in science outreach activities and STEM communication events to inspire the next generation of environmental scientists.
