Sažetak
The Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health (IMROH) is a multidisciplinary scientific institution with more than 70 years of experience in researching the mechanisms of action of various harmful chemical and physical factors and lifestyles on health and the environment. The Institute has a leading role in Croatia in research in the numerous fields that include dosimetry and protection against ionizing radiation, radiobiology, radiocontamination in the environment, as well as human exposure to these contaminants. Institute is at the end of multiyear project: Research and Educational Centre of Environmental Health and Radiation Protection - Reconstruction and Expansion of the IMROH. The purpose of this project is to increase and improve the current IMROH infrastructure and its research equipment, and with the accompanying organizational reform to establish a Research and Education Center for Health and Medical Ecology and Radiation Protection. Building appropriate spacious infrastructure and investing in modern scientific equipment will significantly increase the scientific excellence and visibility of IMROH in the field of existing research. This contribution gives in depth presentation of new laboratories and current capabilities of Radiation Dosimetry and Radiobiology Unit at the Institute. Unit has always played important role in Croatian scientific and professional areas dealing with radiation dosimetry, radiation protection and medical physics. This role will become strengthened with new laboratories that focus on novel technological developments in instrumentation and measurement methods as well as through acquisition of cutting-edge personal dosimetry systems and in-situ dosimetric instrumentation.
