RESEARCH
Current research focuses on breast cancer and the risk associated with exposure to a ubiquitous group of carcinogens, as well as how prolonged exposure can modify the effect of genetic susceptibilities in certain genes associated with metabolic pathways.
Other areas of interest include predictive modelling, occupational exposure assessment, bioinformatics, big data analytics, and data mining.
