Project: Gender differences in carcinogenesis
In this project we investigate sex differences in response to carcinogens. A main objective is to identify chemicals exhibiting sexual dimorphism in their response. Another objective is to identify mode of action for these chemicals. Of special interest is oxidative stress and male susceptibility to carcinogens.
