  • Ph.D. in Pharmacology, Michigan State University (1982)
  • B.A. in Biology, University of Missouri-Columbia (1974)

Research interests focus on environmental chemical-induced carcinogenesis and nutritional interventions. Key areas include:

• Mechanisms of persistent organic pollutants (PCBs, dioxins)
• Dietary modulation of cancer risk
• Peroxisome proliferators and PPAR signaling
• Cigarette smoke effects on pancreatic/lung cancer
• Mouse models for cancer research

Scientific awards include a high-impact research profile with an h-index of 34 and over 3,400 citations. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals for health and well-being.

Key grants include National Cancer Institute funding for selenium supplementation and lung cancer prevention, and University of Iowa research on PCBs. He has collaborated extensively with investigators like Gary Gairola and Edward Lee.
