Research:
- Clinical chemistry, Diagnostic molecular biology, Keratinocyte biology.
My laboratory is focused on examining whether peroxisome proliferator recetor gamma agonists suppress skin cancer formation through their ability to suppress inflammation and promote antigen-specific anti-tumor immune responses.
Future research (un-funded studies): In a second line of ongoing research, we hypothesize that chronic ultraviolet A &/or B (UVA & B) exposure results in a multifocal dermal senescent field that promotes overlying epidermal tumorigenesis.
