Our research focuses on cancer and endocrine disruption, including mechanisms, risk assessment, and prevention. To understand the mechanisms behind these health effects we work with different cellular models and analyze different databases. We also develop new risk assessment methodologies. Other areas of interest include combined effects and sex differences. Progress in these areas will lead to improved risk assessment and development of prevention strategies.
