Dr. Radhia M'kacher is currently working as a General Director of Research & Development at Cell Environment in France. Her aim is to validate, standardize, and automate new cytogenetic approaches for the detection of DNA damage, including telomere dysfunction, chromosomal aberrations, and protein expression. In his research, she has made substantial contributions toward the radiation protection of patients treated by internal or external radiotherapy and the assessment of the risk associated with such exposure. His main research interests have been the detection of chromosomal instability, standardization of the approaches for their detection, and their introduction to the clinic.
Her education includes training as a physicist and obtaining a Master’s degree in 1992. She obtained a PhD degree in radiobiology and radio anthology in 1996 and completed her training with a three-year post-doctoral fellowship in the departments of radiation therapy and hematology at the Gustave Roussy Cancer campus. She obtained my HDR (Habilitation de Derigée des Recherches) in 2005.
