Nobuyuki Hamada, Ph.D.
Nobuyuki Hamada was born in Japan in 1976 and received a
B.Sc. in radiological sciences from Ibaraki Prefectural
University of Health Sciences in 1999. He earned his M.Sc. and
Ph.D. in pharmaceutical sciences from Nagasaki University in
2001 and 2004, respectively. He was a visiting Ph.D. student at
the UK Gray Cancer Institute for 6 months in 2003. He was a
postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Radiological
Sciences and in Tohoku University Institute of Development,
Aging and Cancer, and a COE Associate Professor in Gunma
University Graduate School of Medicine. In 2010, he joined the
Radiation Safety Research Center in the Central Research
Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) as a Research
Scientist.
Since 1998, he has conducted a series of radiobiological studies on nontargeted effects, heavy-
ion effects and lens effects, and has also been involved in several health physics studies. He has
published 84 papers in peer-reviewed international journals since 2001, which have gained over
1,900 citations and a total impact factor of over 190. He received the 2013 Michael Fry Research
Award of the US Radiation Research Society, and 15 awards from Japan Radiation Research
Society, Japan Health Physics Society (JHPS) or other Japanese societies since 2006.
Currently, he is a corresponding member of ICRP Task Group 102 on Detriment Calculation
Methodology. He served as ICRP Assistant Scientific Secretary in 2014–2016, and a Programme
Committee member for the Third International Symposium on the System of Radiological
Protection in 2014–2015. For the Annals of the ICRP, he was Associate Editor for Publications
126–131, and the proceedings of the Second International Symposium on the System of
Radiological Protection.
Besides various activities in ICRP, he currently serves as a Consultant to the US National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Scientific Committee (SC) 1-23 on
Guidance on Radiation Dose Limits for the Lens of the Eye, and a member of the JHPS Expert
Committee on the Dose Limit for the Lens of the Eye. In 2013–2016, he was a member of the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development/Nuclear Energy Agency/Committee
on Radiation Protection and Public Heath/ Expert Group on Radiation Protection Science
(OECD/NEA/CRPPH/EGRPS). In 2013–2015, he was a member of the JHPS Expert Committee
on Radiation Protection of the Ocular Lens.
