  Research Interest

  Our current research focuses in two principal areas: 1. The molecular basis for diseases in which the pathway of transcription-coupled DNA repair is defective, including Cockyne syndrome (CS) and UV-sensitive syndrome (UVSS). Patients are severely sensitive to sunlight but get no cancers. See Hanawalt & Spivak, 2008, for review. 2. Transcription arrest by guanine-rich DNA sequences and non-canonical secondary structures. Transcription collisions with replication forks.

  Research Interest

  Most types of congenital and acquired hearing loss arise from damage to, or loss of hair cells, the sensory cells of the inner ear. Our work focuses on generating mouse and human inner ear cell types from stem cells and we are interested in signaling pathways that control hair cell (re-)generation in vitro and in vivo. In a second line of research, we are working on the identification and the molceular characterization of proteins that are important for hair cell function.

  My research aims to improve our understanding of the health risks associated with exposure to tobacco marketing and provide a scientific rationale for new policies to reduce it. I also study use of media to promote and discourage adolescent tobacco use, and the impact of tobacco advertising on urge and craving to smoke.

  Research Interest

  My research interests focus on nutrition and the etiology of hormonally-dependent cancers in women (most particularly breast, endometrial, and thyroid cancers). Of particular interest are the effects of phytochemicals that may reduce cancer risk, such as the isoflavones in soy foods, the lignans in whole grains, the isothiocyanates in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, and resveratrol in red wine and peanuts. Nutrient-gene interactions are also of interest.

  Research Interest

  Our laboratory is interested in how microbial-triggered inflammation protects against pathogens and yet can result in secondary, harmful effects such as tissue fibrosis and carcinogenesis. The genitourinary tract is our model system. We are examining anti-pathogenic inflammation induced by uropathogenic E. coli. Chronic infection-mediated tissue fibrosis and carcinogenesis are being studied using models of Schistosoma haematobium.
