Ed Blazek is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Rush Medical College, Rush University. His academic focus spans radiation biology, DNA repair, and cancer research, emphasizing cellular responses to ionizing radiation and radiosensitizing agents.
Research interests include:
- Understanding radiation-induced DNA damage and repair mechanisms
- Evaluating radiosensitivity of cancer cells (e.g., medulloblastoma, breast cancer) and vascular endothelial cells
- Developing biophysical assays like filter elution for DNA damage quantification
- Investigating hypoxia's role in tumor cell radioresistance
Key trends in his 15 most recent articles highlight advancements in radiation dosimetry, tumor-specific radiosensitivity markers (e.g., CD133), and mechanistic insights into radioprotective agents (WR-1065). Studies span DNA structural analysis, radiation quality comparisons (fast neutrons vs. gamma rays), and chemotherapy-radiation interactions.
