Research Interests

Chemoprevention is a unique and promising strategy for reducing cancer risk through the administration of synthetic or dietary compounds. Further development of this important concept relies on the identification of compounds that have low toxicity and an understanding of their mechanisms of action. Administration of a dietary supplement that provides high-risk individuals with protection against cancer could significantly affect tumor incidence, mortality and morbidity.

Our research program focuses on the preclinical development of nutritional preventive regimens for individuals at increased risk for cancer. The overall goal is to contribute significantly to the prevention of tumorigenesis before it starts and/or the inhibition of tumor growth using naturally occurring compounds, such as nutrients.
