The laboratory was founded as the University of California Radiation Laboratory in 1931 by Ernest Orlando Lawrence, a University of California Berkeley physicist who won the 1939 Nobel Prize in physics for his invention of the cyclotron, a circular particle accelerator that opened the door to high-energy physics. It is a United States Department of Energy National Laboratory, operated by the University of California. The name of the laboratory has evolved since its founding: Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (1931-1958), the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (1959-1995), and currently the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (1995-present).
Patricia Durbin (Ph.D., biophysics, University of California, Berkeley, 1953) was a member of the research team of Dr. Joseph Hamilton at Crocker Laboratory, a predecessor of parts of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), then at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (LRL) from 1946-1954, research fellow from 1954-1956, lecturer from 1957-1959, and a physiologist from 1951-1977.
These records document the research of Patricia Durbin's group in the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology of the Life Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL). The logbooks include data, notes, daily reports, graphs and charts relating to various experiments. Included are the effect of a complexing agent and mode of administration on the distribution of Curium-242 in the rat, the metabolism of Americium-241 in the adult female rat and monkey, the growth and senescence of the female Sprague-Dawley rat, and the tracing of natural levels of strontium and other elements in baby food and milk. Research focuses on radiation exposures and the effects on biological systems.
