Dr. Wald's research interests have included diagnosis and treatment of acute radiation injury and internal radionuclide contamination,
radiation-induced mouse leukemia, clinical and radiation cytogenetics including the automation of radiation-induced aberration scoring,
and irradiated population studies in Hiroshima, Japan and at the Mayak nuclear facility in Ozyorsk, Russia. His research has been
funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Agency, the U.S. Public Health Service, the National Institutes of Health, the National
Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy.
