Research Interests

Squamous cell carcinoma and precancerous lesions histologically indistinguishable from those arising in tobacco-exposed oral mucosa can be induced in the hamster buccal pouch by topical application of chemical carcinogens. We are employing this model to clarify the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in chemical squamous mucosal carcinogenesis and for the development of novel strategies for cancer chemoprevention and therapy.
