معرفی
Dr. Lydia Zablotska is a Professor at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) specializing in radiation epidemiology, biostatistics, and risk modeling. With over two decades of experience, she has led high-impact cohort and case-control studies quantifying health risks from occupational and environmental radiation exposure.
Education:
- MD in Medicine from Minsk State Medical School, Belarus (1993)
- MPA in Public Policy and Health Administration from Florida State University (1997)
- PhD in Epidemiology from Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health (2003)
Her research focuses on radiation health effects in nuclear workers, uranium miners, and Chernobyl-exposed populations, with methodological innovations in statistical modeling for risk projection. Current projects include uranium worker pooled analyses and radiation-induced neurological disease risk studies for the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR).
Recent publications examine radiation effects on cataract formation, cardiovascular disease, and thyroid cancer, with methodological contributions to regression calibration and dose-protraction models. She serves on the EPA's Radionuclide Cancer Risk Coefficients Review Panel and the NCRP's Epidemiology Writing Group.
Scientific Awards:
- Elected Member, National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (2020)
- Mentor Award for Early Stage Radiation Investigators (2019)
- Apple Teaching Award at UCSF (2015-2016)
- Stephen Hulley Teaching Award at UCSF (2016)
