Dr. Frederick E. (Rick) Domann, Jr., is Professor in the Free Radical & Radiation Biology Program, the Department of Radiation Oncology, and the College of Medicine at the University of Iowa, and a McCord Research Foundation Mentor.
Dr. Domann received a bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville in 1983 and a Ph.D. in human cancer biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1991. He completed postdoctoral work in molecular oncology at the University of Arizona in Tucson in 1993
Dr. Domann served as research associate in the Radiation Oncology Department of the University of Arizona from 1991 to 1993. Subsequent to that, he was assistant professor in the Radiation Research Laboratory, the Division of Radiation Oncology, the Department of Radiology and the College of Medicine at the University of Iowa. Most recently, Dr. Domann served as associate professor in the Free Radical & Radiation Biology Program, the Department of Radiation Oncology and the College of Medicine at the University of Iowa.
Dr. Domann's research interests are in non-invasive cancer suppression mechanisms. He has received numerous grants from the NIH, the National Cancer Institute, the University of Iowa, and other organizations.
His research has been published in more than 80 peer-reviewed publications – 32 in the last three years – including the Journal of Urology, Oral Oncology, Nature Genetics, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Oncogene, Neoplasia, Breast Cancer Research, Cancer Research, Molecular Cancer Therapy, Gynecological Oncology, Respirology, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Cancer, Epigenetics, Virology, Experimental and Molecular Pathology and Free Radical Biology & Medicine.
His awards and honors include: Outstanding Recent Alumnus, University of Wisconsin-Platteville; International Congress of Radiation Research Student Travel Award; Radiation Research Society Student Travel Award; Juman Oncology Special Fellowship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; and the Leo E. Boelbel Memorial Biology Scholarship at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.
He has also participated in: the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Study Section, Cancer Molecular Pathobiology; the Department of Energy Study Section, Biological Effects of Low Level Ionizing Radiation; NIH Special Emphasis Panel, Pathology; National Institute of Environmental Health Science Special Emphasis Panel, Environmental Influences on Epigenetic Regulation; Department of Defense Study Section, U.S. Army Breast Cancer Awards.
