Radiochronobiology.org
Radiochronobiology.org is a science advocacy platform that provides open access resources to unniche the synergy field of radiochronobiology, also called chronoradiobiology, chronoradiotherapy, or radiochronotherapy. We promote knowledge exchange, cross-disciplinary competences, and collaboration between both fields and adjacent disciplines.
Radiochronobiology.org is part of STEMvocacy.org, a scientific advocacy platform founded by Britta Langen in 2025.
Partly supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant 80NSSC24K0576.

What is radiochronobiology and why does it matter?
Radiochronobiology studies the interplay between biological rhythms and radiation effects in living cells, tissues, and the organism as a whole. This understudied cross-discipline can reveal new scientific perspectives for radiation protection and cancer radiation therapy.
Who can benefit from learning about radiochronobiology?
Students, researchers, and enthusiasts interested in biology and radiological sciences will find valuable resources here.
How can I stay updated with new findings in this field?

Are there interactive materials available for learners?
Yes, downloadable resources are in development to enhance your educational journey into the exciting field of radiochronobiology.
Meet the Founder
Britta Langen
Ph.D., Ph.Lic., Dipl.-Biol.
Britta Langen holds a Ph.D. and Ph.Lic. from Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) and a Dipl.-Biol. from RWTH Aachen University (Germany). Her background spans molecular biology, radiation research, and informatics. Her doctoral thesis earned the Assar Gabrielsson Award for basic scientific research in 2018.
She completed part of her training at the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique in Paris (France) as an ERASMUS fellow through the École Normale Supérieure, and wrote her undergraduate thesis at the German Aerospace Center in Cologne. Dr. Langen has also worked as a visiting collaborative researcher at several international institutions, including HIMAC–NIRS in Chiba (Japan), GANIL in Caen (France), and MD Anderson in Houston (USA).
Within the Radiation Research Society, she became the longest-serving Chair of the Scholars-in-Training Committee. Under her leadership, the first EDI initiative, Radiation Researchers for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, was founded in June 2020. Dr. Langen has been a Visiting Assistant Professor and Principal Investigator at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, USA. She started science advocacy during the NIH funding crisis in 2025.
Outside the lab, Britta enjoys rock climbing, classical literature, and playing the guitar. She is also passionate about keeping her teammates alive in competitive esports titles.
