Gioacchino Failla (19 July 1891 - 15 December 1961) was an Italian-born American physicist. A pioneer in both biophysics and radiobiology, he was particularly noted for his work on the role of radiation as a cause of cancer and genetic mutation. He was born in Castelbuono in the Province of Palermo and emigrated with his family to the United States in 1906. After his retirement from Columbia University's Center for Radiological Research in 1960 he was appointed Senior Scientist Emeritus in the Radiological Physics Division of the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. He was killed in a car accident near the laboratory at the age of 70.〔Marinelli, L. M. (1962). ("Gioacchino Failla (1891–1961)" ).

Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine; Allen was professor of anatomy at Yale University Medical School; and Andervont was with the U.S. Public Health Service. Macklin was associate professor of Histology and Embryology at University of Western Ontario, and later served as president of the American Society of Human Genetics. Kreyberg taught at the University of Oslo; Failla was then working at the Cancer Memorial Hospital of New York City; and Coutard was chief of the department of x-ray therapy for cancer at the Radium Institute, University of Paris. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gioacchino Failla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
