Richard Richardson takes a multidisciplinary approach to research that explores spontaneous and radiation-induced cancer and other diseases of aging. He coauthored a mitochondrial-based explanation of the \u2018oxygen effect\u2019, important in radiotherapy. Currently, he is assessing DNA damage, epigenetic changes and mitochondrial biomarkers after neutron, radon and gamma-ray exposures. His current research studies the role of oxidative stress on cataract development in astronauts, and redox, bioenergetic and temperature regulation of circadian rhythms resulting in sleep being mitorestorative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[3],"yoast_head":"\n
