Specialization: Public Health Pharmacy and Cancer Prevention

For the past 15 years, my primary clinical and cancer-related research focus has been tobacco cessation. My work in the area of tobacco research encompasses (1) the identification of predictors of tobacco use, including genetics and environment, (2) the development of new measures for assessing tobacco-related phenotypes, such as the multidimensional characterization of tobacco dependence, (3) evaluation of interventions for cessation, and (4) the development, evaluation, and dissemination of effective training programs for health-care providers.
