STEM
Radiation Sciences is broadly interdisciplinary, bridging the fields of medicine, biology, engineering and physical science. It provides scientific method and knowledge to certain industrial sectors, especially the Health Care and Nuclear industries.
Faculty: Faculty of Science | Duration: 1 year | Study mode: full-time / part-time | Intake: September | Location: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Areas of research include: Brachytherapy radioisotopes, interface dosimetry, imaging dose distributions, neutron micro-dosimetry; Nuclear and atomic techniques used for analysis of both trace toxic elements and major components of human body composition; Development of novel radiopharmaceuticals and medical use of radioisotopes in diagnosis and therapy; Novel methods of imaging bone architecture and joint structure non-invasively; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; DNA damage and DNA repair processes in carcinogenesis; Adaptive response, genomic instability and bystander effect in radiation risk assessment of human and non-human biota; Laser and light propagation in tissue for photodynamic therapy and tissue characterization; Skeletal muscle function and the mechanisms of repair/regeneration; Radiation ccident dosimetry; Advanced methods of optimization for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and gel dosimetry..
Health Physics is interdisciplinary, bridging the fields of medicine, biology, engineering and physical science. It provides scientific method and knowledge of Radiation Protection to the Health Care and Nuclear industries and regulatory bodies. The program consists of a course- and project-based MSc. Research is conducted with faculty using McMaster radiation facilities or at industrial partners facilities. Some students are presently working in the Health Physics field in industry and pursue the program part-time.
Graduate programmes accept applications for September, January and May admit terms; programmes listed without open/close dates do not accept applications for that term.
Graduate application open and close dates differ for domestic (Canadian citizens/permanent residents) and international applicants and vary by programme and admit term.
