M Bernal is a Nuclear Engineer graduated with Golden Diploma (equiv. to Summa Cum Laude) at the High Institute of Nuclear Science and Technologies, in Havana Cuba (1995). He obtained a Master in Medical Physics degree at the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Investigations (2003, sponsored by the IAEA). Afterward, he got a Doctorate in Physics at the Simon Bolivar University (USB) in Venezuela, with honors . He worked as Medical Physicist for more than 6 years before coming to the academic environment. He was professor of Medical Physics at graduate and post-graduate levels for one year at the School of Physics of the Central University of Venezuela (2006-2007) and Aggregate (equivalent to assistant) Professor of Physics at the USB since September 2007 until February 2011. He has been working on radiation transport Monte Carlo simulations since 1993 and was Invited Researcher at the Laboratorio de Ciencias Radiologicas, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, from February, 2010 until January, 2011. He also was Visiting Professor at the Instituto de Física Gleb Wataghin, UNICAMP, Brazil, where he currently is Associate Professor of Physics. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The interaction of ionizing particles with DNA leads to the damage of this molecule. This damage is closely related to both the origin and treatment of cancer. In re- cent years, the used of heavy charged particles, such as protons, has increased very fast. Unlike photons and electrons, which have been used in radiation therapy for more than a century, the radiobiology associated to heavy…
The interaction of ionizing radiation with human beings leads to DNA damage. This damage is closely related to the origin of cancer as well as with its treatment through the radiation therapy. The Radiobiology is the branch of the science that studies the biological effects produced by ionizing radiations. There are two main approaches to study this kind of effects, experiments and simula…
The interaction of ionizing particles with DNA can produce biological damage, including cancer. These processes can be studied with models based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. For this, we need geometric models of human genetic material, taking into account from the pairs of nucleotides to the chromosomes. HiC maps allow to experimentally determine the contact points of the chromatin fi…
The interaction of ionizing particles with the DNA induces biological damages, including Cancer. However, this disease can be treated by ionizing radiation, which is known as Radiation Therapy. Recently, a new Cancer treatment modality is under development, known as Targeted Radionuclide Therapy. It is based on the use of new radioactive isotopes linked to a vector molecule that carries t…
