GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates one of the leading particle accelerators for science. Currently, the new FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) one of the world´s largest research projects, is being built in international cooperation. GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work in this international environment with a team of employees committed to world-class science.
The Biophysics department is an interdisciplinary team of biologists, physicists, chemists, biochemists and technicians. The multidisciplinary research in our group covers a wide range of topics from radiobiology, radiation physics and space research to radiation therapy.
The radiobiological modelling group focuses on developing strategies and algorithms to quantity biologic effects of particle radiation based on underlying physics, biology and physiology. Within the BMFTR funded project “BIOMICRO” the temporal formation of radiation damage will be investigated. Radiation may induce elementary lesions like double strand breaks to the DNA in cell nuclei, which may interact within a certain time scale, giving rise to complex lesions. GSI is working on the quantification of such complex lesions in particular in dependence on radiation type.
Within this program, the GSI biophysics department offers a
