My laboratory is focused on delineating mechanisms involved
in mammary tumor development after radiation exposure, the genetic control
of susceptibility, and mapping the loci involved. Studies using this approach
have suggested a mechanistic link between radiation-induced genomic instability
and early events in radiation-induced mammary cancer. Because of this
potential link, research has also begun aimed at exploring mechanisms of
radiation-induced genomic instability. The underlying hypothesis of these
studies is that tumor-associated genomic instability is preferentially expressed
in certain recombinogenic genomic domains and that these may be cell lineage-specific.
I am also responsible for oversight and coordination of activities for the 12 research
laboratories within the Animal Cancer Center. Research within these laboratories
encompasses basic cancer biology as well as the development of new approaches for
cancer diagnosis and treatment.
