Brandon Jones, PhD
Dr. Brandon C Jones is a research scientist supporting the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) in Bethesda, Maryland. He received his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from West Virginia University and completed his postdoctoral fellowship at Georgetown University in Washington, DC.
At AFRRI, Dr. Jones’s research interests are focused on studying the biological effects of radiation exposure in different models and the development and testing of potential medical countermeasures against radiation-induced damage.
Dr. Jones has an extensive research background in multiple areas including radiobiology, preclinical drug discovery, immuno-oncology, cancer cell invasion/metastasis, and endocrine-resistant breast cancer metabolism, as well as patient-derived xenografts and tissue biobanking. Additionally, Dr. Jones has significant experience in assay development, target validation, and animal research studies.
