Research Interests:
Ultraviolet Light and Skin Cancer
Cancer begins as an encounter between a carcinogen and a gene. Our lab is pinpointing these early events, which occur decades before tumors appear. Using sunlight-induced human skin cancer as an experimental system, we seek to identify gene targets for sunlight and learn how loss of their functions – such as UV-induced apoptosis – leads to the onset of cancer in normal-appearing skin.
