Research Interests / Professional Overview

  • Induction of DNA repair.
  • Effects of nutrients on spontaneous and chemically induced mutagenesis in lacI transgenic mice.
  • Effects of nutaceuticals and tobacco on gene expression in human and rodent tissues.
  • Mutagenesis by smokeless tobacco, tobacco components, and tobacco carcinogens in lacZ transgenic mice. 
  • Detection of chemically modified DNA in human oral tissue.
  • Metabolism of tobacco carcinogens by human oral tissue.
  • Development of sensitive fluorescent assays to detect DNA damage.

Chemical Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis

  • Research in my laboratory focuses on measuring mutations in tissues of lacZ transgenic mice, and cultured cells, chemoprevention of mutagenesis, development of high sensitivity fluorescence assays for detection of modified nucleotides from DNA, the metabolism of carcinogens, interactions of carcinogens with DNA, detection of carcinogen-DNA adducts, and determination of mutational spectra of carcinogens. Laboratory methodologies include high performance liquid chromatography, mutagenesis, PCR, enzyme assays, gene arrays.

Current Funding

  • 1R21 DE 029711: Genotoxic and mutagenic effects of combinations of e-cigarettes and tobacco carcinogens in mouse oral tissues
  • NIH grant # R01-CA173465 Effects of black raspberries on oral carcinogenesis
