James Mcevoy

Dr James McEvoy-May is a Research Associate in respiratory physiology and radiation biology within the Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute at Flinders University. After completing Honours in cancer biology, Dr McEvoy-May completed a Cotutelle PhD where he completed his research across two universities, Flinders University, AUS, and McMaster University, CAN. During his PhD, Dr McEvoy-May conducted clinical audits of ionizing radiation levels during hospital admission to gain knowledge of the current prescription levels by doctors. He then investigated the long-term effects from prenatal radiation exposures, focusing on respiratory physiology and immunology through in vivo models, solidifying a detailed understanding of translational physiology from medically relatable radiation exposures. Dr McEvoy-May continues his interest in the respiratory system and radiation biology investigating the immunomodulation properties of ionizing radiation during respiratory inflammation. Using both X-ray and radon decay radiation sources, Dr McEvoy-May aims at detailing the mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory properties of low dose ionizing radiation with hope to translate this methodology clinically into resolving inflammatory disease duration and severity.
